[sugar] Choosing "defaults" for the activity ring

[Eben Eliason]

I'll toss in my thoughts, as I tried to introduce the problem as

simplest to implement, as well as the clearest conceptually.  I, too,
expect that such occurrences will be few, and find it unlikely that it
would become a nuisance in those cases anyway.
