Isn''t this just the same as having a before_save callback where you
define these default values?

Also, what do you mean with "We can use db''s default values but
they are evaluated during migrations"?

completed gems that realize this. I.e. default_value_for
(https://github.com/FooBarWidget/default_value_for). Why not to merge it in
rails? Thanks.
