I think this is a good change. However, changing this default would be a breaking change for anyone that requires more than 10 releases in history, especially since we've explicitly documented via GoDoc that 0 is the default and that it means "unlimited".

I don't know if there are any such users, but I also don't know that there aren't.

Given that we are still pre-1.0, there is nothing stopping us from making this breaking change. But we should definitely remember to call it out specifically in the release notes and make sure the next tag is a minor version bump.

@Jay-Madden are you using helm-operator-plugins as a library? If so, you should be able to implement a separate default in your code in the meantime.
