Comment:

 I don't think we can fix this in `wp_dropdown_categories()`. Changing the
 default value will break any form using `wp_dropdown_categories()` for a
 custom taxonomy and using the default value of 'name'. If we build
 `wp_dropdown_terms()`, we can and should have more intelligent defaults,
 but I think we're stuck with what we've got for
 `wp_dropdown_categories()`. In the meantime, plugin devs should pass
 'name' and 'id' params explicitly.
