Calm down. Any argument along the lines of the change of a default value in the defconfig screwing people over equally applies the other way around; by not changing the defconfig, you're screwing laptop users (and others that want less power consumption) over. The world is not black and white, it's a very boring gray (or a very sadening bloody red; but I hope we won't come to that point just because of a silly argument on lkml...)
In the end, Linus will decide this anyway. I can understand that you don't want to change your application. Help developing the dynamic tick patch, and maybe you won't have to =)
