Not every company NEEDS globalization and international support. Neither do they all need encryption.

These should be set by the final setup not by default.

Are you going to make M$Soft switch from ASCII to Unicode? The basic OS on most desktops is not Unicode.

So you want IBM to help the dummies who can't figure out how to configure the system? That sounds like a training/hiring issue for the company that uses the system, not necessarily something IBM needs to fix.

Defaults should be sane and current. Unfortunately, the defaults on a
newly shipped IBM i are horrible - for example, Telnet is enabled and
only unencrypted. A sane and current default configuration would
automatically create a self-signed certificate and enable only
Telnet/SSL.

Not everyone need a Unicode default configuration. ÂEBCDIC does not mean its LEGACY.

EBCDIC has no place in todays time of globalization and international
use of software.
