Could a function to reset all geom defaults back to the initial defaults be provided? about ggplot2 HOT 3 OPEN

I can see value in a grand reset of the default aesthetics. I feel that the geoms shouldn't be hardcoded like in the example you give, which makes it somewhat more complicated.

you have to know what the defaults are

This isn't strictly true, but you have to know which geoms one should reset.

However, I don't think the update_geom_defaults() will be the 'preferred way' of interacting with defaults after #5833 gets merged.

I see no reason for superseding it, so yes I think it'll be around a while.

Thanks, @teunbrand

Do you forsee that update_geom_defaults will be continued to be supported?

I find it super useful
