Problem/Motivation
When creating a new content type, the default value for the "Promoted to front page" checkbox should be FALSE.
Beta phase evaluation
| Issue category | Task because it is not bug and not adding a new feature. |
|---|---|
| Issue priority | Normal because it just effects one area (promoting). it is not across systems or important by community concensus (which would make it major), and it is not cosmetic (which would make it minor) per https://www.drupal.org/core/issue-priority |
| Unfrozen changes | NOT Unfrozen only changes. |
| Prioritized changes | The main goal of this issue is usability. So it is a prioritized change. |
| Disruption | NOT Disruptive for core/contributed and custom modules/themes because it will not require a BC break/deprecation/internal refactoring/widespread changes. |
So this normal task is allowed in the drupal 8 beta since it is a prioritized usability improvement with no/very little disruption.
Proposed resolution
Write patch to Drupal 8 to change this behavior for new version of Drupal
