Fedora's default papersize setting... where?
Take a close look at the file cupshelpers.py
in system-config-printer
Letter is selected by default only for a small number of specific
locales. What more do you want? Blood?
If you are going to argue that we should make A4 the default, even for
en_US and en_CA... locations where printers can be assumed that Letter
sized paper is what is in the trays... you and I are going to have a
serious discussion about balancing usability against idealism.

+1 Fedora should default to the ISO standard..
Best regards.

I suspect you might not have interpreted Jef's sarcasm quite right, because I
don't read him as +1 for changing anything there. Any choice of 'default' in
paper sizes would simply be wrong somewhere... the only reasonable thing Fedora
'should' do is choose the most likely default based on locale. Maybe some more
work needs done on that (which is a configuration issue).
