The most recent time seems to be March 2008, where you asked the
maintainers for suggestions on the following defaults:

"Here are some examples of changes that could be made:
- transient-mark, selection with Shift-arrow keys

- show-paren-mode on by default
- iswitchb-mode on by default
- bind ibuffer to C-x C-b
- hide-ifdef-mode on by default for C/C++/objc
- flyspell-mode on by default for text-mode"

Concerning ibuffer Stefan answered:

"I added many months ago the following entry in etc/TODO

** Merge ibuffer.el and buff-menu.el.
   More specifically do what's needed to make ibuffer.el the default,
   or just an extension of buff-menu.el."

Similar exchanges also came up in 2003, 2006 and 2007. Stefan 2003:

"Hadn't it been decided to make Ibuffer the default (i.e. replacing
list-buffers) ?  Did I dream it ?
Also I see that list-buffers uses the header-line whereas Ibuffer
doesn't. "
