It is pretty easy to do

bzrlib.bzrdir.format_registry.set_default('knitpack-experimental')

(or just change the very last line in the file.)

That would certainly be required before we ever make knitpack the default
format. But since Robert has strong plans to evolve the format anyway, I'm
guessing we won't be making packs the default for a few months.
