In addition to the testing / migration points Dan makes, this actually has a docs/QE impact. It often comes up that customers think the name DefaultDS means something specific, and that they shouldn't change it. Since we absolutely don't want them using the sample datasource for production, I think calling it "sample" is a win all around. I think customers would be much less comfortable using the "sample" datasource in production than trying to use the "default" datasource in production.
