I'm for dropping configuration switches, if they make no sense (in my 
eyes). Do you know other applications having a configurable help system?

"better defaults" is IMHO the way to go. Not only for utf8, but also for 
Backend configurations.

I follow Jens' argumentation: Do your desktop applications show lengthy 
explanations all the time? No. If you need help you (should) know that 
you get tool tips.

Maybe we should think about our labels and improve them (but that was 
already part of Joey's work, wasn't it?).

Kind regards
Steffen
