Sounds good to me.

I'm the author of the removal patch, but the patch was just part of a larger serie explaining push.default, the idea of cleaning up the obsolete alias came in the discussion and I did it, but I'm fine with reintroducing it in the doc (as long as it does not disturb new users too much).
