I'm not sure. I guess most people set their preferred image type via
machine config and for those that don't, switching the default is just
going to cause confusion rather than being helpful.

I did wonder about moving the default definition from kernel.bbclass
into bitbake.conf though. Then the duplicate default definition in
bootimg.bbclass could be removed.
