Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

I'm -1 on expanding this API further.  It already is pushing the limits with 
the dual signature and with the key-function.

Many languages have min/max functions.  AFAICT, none of them have an API with a 
default argument.  This suggests that this isn't an essential capability.
