[REQUEST] Default Settings of the Track constraints

I was in class with on of my Teachers, and as the Blender kid of the class he begged me to ask the developers to make the default settings of the Track contraint to be as follow

Track to : -Z
Up : Y

The reason being that users most often want to track cameras, the Camera's optimal setting for tracking it to an object being to -Z and Y up it'd make the manipulation faster.

Really good idea!

Mentioned it to the UI team and riggers and we all agreed it's a much better default, thanks for pointing it out. It's now the default! , it will be available in tomorrow's experimental build. (thanks Julian Eisel for making the change too!)

Cheers!

What about a quick "Reverse Up" button, or the ability to choose among X,Y,Z,-X,-Y,-Z for the Up list ? I know I have wasted a couple of hours trying to figure out why my fish armature was always upside down. Turned out the "Twist axis" of the curve did the trick, but I think a checkbox would be more efficient than switching back to the curve to tweak it.
