The lefthyphenmin=2 may be subject to discuss, but in real life this is the way we separate words. I know that it was considered ugly by some people/insitutions, but I think these considerations are rather obsolete. Set it to 3 if your doc has >90 letters/line in general. But this shouldn't be the default setting. Think of all the prefixed verbs 'ergreifen', 'erstatten' etc. It *may* lead to *some* unwanted separations, but this should be handled by the hyphenation patterns.
