victor: As for having default content types I think there are two levels - Drupal as a system/framework should not assume anything but a fresh installation should give a user(especially a new one that is probably just exploring the system) some types to work with, even if it is just a way to illustrate that different types that are possible. If the first thing a new user has to do is actually create a content type then we lost them right there...
I heartily concur.
It should be up to the default install profile to create the two default types we have (page and article). Other install profiles can do what they want, including no content types at all. -- Khalid M.
