There is a discussion going on on d-d [1], whether TeX should support other paper formats as *system-wide* default for paper size, apart from 'a4paper' and 'letter'.
Does anyone on this list have a desire and/or could give some arguments, why and where it would be useful to use a system's default different from 'a4' or 'letter'? (This discussion applies only to TeX/texlive and only on the system's default. Different paper sizes can also be set on a per document basis.) See [1] for further information from the DD of texlive.
