That might have been the reason a while ago. Meanwhile we have a clever
suggestion for an approach that would really work, but we are lacking
the manpower to actually implement it.

If you want to help, why not *read* the "numerous default-paper-size
bugs", find the implementation idea that has been agreed upon, and write
a patch?
