Numlock default

Is there any special reason NumLock is not on by default? 

I think it's one of those little details that many people would
appreciate, especially us Windows-switchers. As it stands, I believe the
default has NumLock off by default, and even then, turning it on in one
program doesn't turn it on globally.

I know there are how-to's on how to set this manually and I've followed
them successfully. However numlockx is in universe which I believe puts
it out of the "it just works" ballpark.

Just a thought.
