Well, arguably, we shouldn't necessarily have defaults that use window scaling, or we should have ways to recognize automatically when it doesn't work (which may not be possible).
It's not like there aren't broken boxes out there, and it might be better to make the default buffer sizes just be low enough that window scaling simply isn't an issue.
I suspect that the people who really want/need window scaling know about it, and could be assumed to know enough to raise their limits, no?
