IMO *no*!

If you remove them that would be against many wishes in the Enlish list.
Many people don't like extensions, which don't work as plug'n play but
need necessarily configuration.

If *necessary* configuration is an *enable option* and *as default
enabled*, that offers easy installation *but* offers also freedom for
advanced developers!

put
   t3lib_extMgm::addTypoScript($_EXTKEY,'setup','...',43);

in ext_localconf.php

as enable option, when people who want easy installation can get it
and tell that those can be set also other way

IMO Elmar thinks *only* at the sight of *advanced* developers, but it
is necessary to think also at the sight of *average* users.
