It is a matter of taste and something not easy to decide... And everything can be changed from user-space by some script running during the boot process to a more meaningful setting. So the initial setting doesn't matter really much. Having some of the LEDs as heartbeat gives an (additional) feedback that the kernel has booted. We could even take led1, led3 and led5 as heartbeat and the other two as default-on. Would give a nice pattern showing that the LEDs are not broken... So let me know how you would like to have it and I add it to a PATCH v2.
