So you want IBM to help the dummies who can't figure out how to configure the system? That sounds like a training/hiring issue for the company that uses the system, not necessarily something IBM needs to fix.

Defaults should be sane and current. Unfortunately, the defaults on a
newly shipped IBM i are horrible - for example, Telnet is enabled and
only unencrypted. A sane and current default configuration would
automatically create a self-signed certificate and enable only
Telnet/SSL.

Not everyone need a Unicode default configuration. ÂEBCDIC does not mean its LEGACY.

EBCDIC has no place in todays time of globalization and international
use of software.
