The Compute API specifically says:

"Only ‘default’ quota class is valid and used to set the default quotas, 
all other quota class would not be used anywhere."

What this API does provide is the ability to set new default quotas for 
*all* projects at once rather than individually specifying new defaults 
for each project.
