Right, but distro upgrades are now regularly reliable enough that folks may go for years without creating a fresh user profile for themselves. For me personally, even when I do set up a fresh machine with a clean Fedora install, I'll rsync my old home directory over the top of the new one. This kind of thing means that even when distros change their default settings, a *lot* of users will still have the old default.
