Maybe it's time to relax that, or at least to provide a suggested skeleton .zshrc -- which we could connect to zsh-newuser-install to be slurped in without having to go through all the questions if you just want to "feel lucky". I've been noodling with a default completion setup module for a while (though haven't worked on it in months) and we could certainly do a better job of exposing the prompt theme system since pretty prompts apparently are what many people go looking at OMZ to find.
