Comment:

 Hello and thanks for this ticket,

 Given that I don't think it would introduce too big risks in terms of
 backward compatibility, and as I agree with you that 12 would indeed be an
 ideal default number for most themes (works with 1, 2, 3 and 4 columns,
 and I don't think 5 columns is super common for blog archive), I think it
 would be a relevant change.

 However, as far as I know theme developers (even on the WP.org repository)
 are allowed to programaticaly change the default setting. So while 12
 appears to be the best default value for this setting, I'm not sure it is
 a top priority.
 But worth starting to open the discussion :)
