Not quite, the documentation says:

# To provide jobs with the minimum response time, a value of zero is
# recommended (no waiting). To minimize fragmentation of resources,
# a value equal to KillWait plus two is recommended.

So the default is 0 to match the first recommendation, but sites can choose 
the second recommendation should they want to.
