1. Quick, more work:

Create Web UI plugin which would change the hardcoded default to the
other value:
  related code:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/freeipa.git/tree/install/ui/src/freeipa/user.js#n989
  example plugins: https://pvoborni.fedorapeople.org/plugins/
  plugin info: https://pvoborni.fedorapeople.org/doc/#!/guide/Plugins

2. Uncertain delivery:
File a ticket to change default or make it configurable(IMO better). Let
core team to implement it. But note that there is quite a big number of
other tickets which we prioritize.

3. Do #2 and contribute patch for it. When reviewed, it would then go to
currently developed version(4.5). This might be more work then #1.

4. dirty: change the default directly in Web UI code. Doesn't work well
with upgrades, not supported, hard to find it in minimized code.
