I see what you mean, but I do not see how this would help newcomers.  It 
would be one set of defaults, and many will come with another set of 
defaults that they would also like to call "modern-mode" (or 
"postmodern-mode" or "futuristic-mode" or "postfuturistic-mode" or ...). 
This would result in the long term in a large set of "profiles", each with 
a number of unrelated defaults modified, in which a new user would be 
lost.
