I prefer a default value that works out-of-the box.

there's another problem still to address:

if you have multiple interfaces and you have
'dhcp' in /etc/ifconfig.<if> then
dhcpcd tries to remove and re-add the default route.
dhcpcd shouldn't touch the default route if root is on NFS
because you end up with

nfs_timer: ignoring error 65
nfs_timer: ignoring error 65
nfs_timer: ignoring error 65
