That's okay, because there's still controversy regarding the need for
users to tweak this variable. Some of use think most users will never
need it (you, obviously, disagree). Therefore, I think we should
first see how many users actually ask about something like that, and
if it turns out many do, we can make the option more visible and
user-friendly.
So for now, I think we should leave things as they are and wait for
feedback.
