Is it possible to set the default frontend rule type?

Question

https://docs.traefik.io/configuration/backends/kubernetes/#general-annotations Says that the traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/rule-type annotation overrides the the default frontend rule type.

Is there any way to set the default frontend rule type to PathPrefixStrip so I will not have to override it in every single Ingress definition?

No, in traefik 1.7 default fronted rule is hardcoded and not documented. https://github.com/containous/traefik/blob/v1.7/provider/kubernetes/kubernetes.go#L48

    defaultFrontendRule        = "PathPrefix:/"
//...

                if len(frontend.Routes) == 0 {
                    frontend.Routes["/"] = types.Route{
                        Rule: defaultFrontendRule,
                    }
                }
//...
    templateObjects.Frontends[defaultFrontendName].Routes["/"] = types.Route{
        Rule: defaultFrontendRule,
    }
