IMHO, "all" should be the default, since selective patch installation is something for the more experienced (who should be able to adapt zypper.conf ;-))
You're joking, right? Why do we release optional updates at all if they are installed anyway? (And it's just zypper, YaST/packagekit honors the optional flag, right?)
Let me rephrase this: The defaults of 'zypper patch' and 'zypper pchk' should be so that people can put them into a cron job to keep their system in an supported state. The maintenance team uses optional patches when they think the update is not useful for most users. The idea of optional patches is exactly that they are not installed by default (i.e. in a cron job), but with a deliberate decision from the sysadmin.
