[jboss-as7-dev] can we align the name of the sample datasource?

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.
