I see this point, but on the other hand it opens for detailed configuration. 
These Setup-Vars are "Advanced Settings" like some others too.
To help the user with configuration it's part of the interface and 
documentation. I don't know how this will be dealed by the new installer, 
but e.g. giving "predefined" settings with select box will help, advanced 
setting is still possible.
In this case there is no damage possible as MySQL ignores most of the flags 
atm.

btw - happy new year for you and all the others!
