Comment 4 for bug 1719208

I would prefer a default setting rather than it being sticky. With stickiness, I would be very concerned that it would get changed for one user and then staff would not notice that it was changed (especially on shared workstations) and create following users with the same type. Since staff accounts are created with the same interface as patrons, this would potentially cause patrons to get assigned staff accounts, as well as creating other headaches.

If the default were set as a library setting / YAOUS could have different defaults if needed.
