I think we should look at how our users are using the API? Is there a way to get a dump of the moment common requests? It would be great to separate these out into 3rd party usage and Wikimedia usage.
API logs are kept in full for last 30 days, so someone with prod access should be able to get them for you.
In terms of sensible defaults - what queries can we simplify? Personally I think the more data we return in a response the better. We should be minimising the number of HTTP requests.
Also remember to be backwards compatible :)
I think how people use it is the best way to learn and improve.
