I think the default should simply be changed, frankly. I can't see any
kind of drawback whatsoever to having the date there. Possibly on
something with a ridiculously tiny screen it wouldn't fit, but in that
case it could just automatically switch to time-only display. I can't
really think of any argument in favor of defaulting to time-only.
