I like the idea of the /products just being a default View, too. Mostly b/c we have the catalog module if people want an out of the box product listing, and if a newbie comes along and just wants a product list, it would be better for us and them if they used the Views module from the start (less support for us, more options for them as they get more comfortable with Drupal/Views). I'd like to see this on a to-do list somewhere unless there are any good objections.
