[Bf-committers] Reset to Defaults...

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi,
I see the benefit of it, but I am not happy with the current 
implementation: 
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=32894&group_id=9&atid=127 
(wrote a comment there).

Imho, this pollutes DNA too much, although it would be sufficient to add 
the defaults in RNA only.

Best regards,
Thomas
