The thing is that there's never a good value for a default. Let's take
the memory node here: what would be a good default? If we want to make
it work everywhere it's going to be the lowest amount of memory
available on the D1 boards. It's going to be hard to maintain and very
likely to be overlooked, resulting in broken boards anyway.

If someone is savvy enough to use JTAG, it's not really difficult to
modify the DT for their board when they need it.
