well, my first thought is that trying to anticipate what people's
preferences will be is for the birds. i would be to choose the openest
and free-est defaults, with good instructions on how to customize. does

"It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used
by my subjects, and the amount of money that goes out of the country as a
consequence. Everybody is using coffee; this must be prevented. [...]
Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and
the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be relied
upon to endure hardships in case of another war."
-Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, 1774
