No.  As I said, large default keys have problems in the embedded space:
particularly, they do not work with smart cards, which are getting
increasingly important.  The previous generation of cards were generally
RSA-1K devices.  The current generation is moving towards RSA-2K.

I don't think changing the defaults to something that's incompatible
with smart cards is particularly wise.
