Realistically, I don't think setting a default (repeated) meta description on each page is the correct way to go. The description entered in the option is unlikely to be particularly relevant to the content of the page in question, so it's not likely to be particularly helpful. In general, where we have relevant options (a description for the section we're in, snippet of the primary contnet on the page, etc), we do auto generate a meta description. These are also more likely to be the pages that people will come to via SERPs anyway. So I don't think this is something we are planning on changing (it would be possible to change through templates I believe).

This is already possible via the metadata_macros::description (or metadata_macros::metadata).
