 From the first versions of WordPress there is "Blog pages show at most"
 set to 10. It has worked fine in the old times, where the blog posts were
 linear. But today, they are shown in grid in default and most other
 templates. And very often it has a responsive behaviour - so it has 3 or 4
 columns on desktop, 2 or 3 on tablets and 1 or 2 on mobile phones. The
 problem is, that 10 is not divisible by 3 or 4. So if you have more then
 default 10 posts, there is an ugly gap before the list and the numbering.

 Setting this default to 12 would make it work for 99,99 % cases and it is
 very simple change without backward compatibility issues (as it is a
 database value so it will not affect existing websites, only the new
 ones).
