the default papersize in ghostscript is NOT hardcoded, it is set in the
initalization file gs_init.ps, which is plain ASCII and can be edited by
everyone.

So if it were possible for some people to gain at least a little bit of
insight into a subject prior to posting on a mailing list, many flame wars
and nearly off-topic posts could be avoided.
