But then the "comma-separated-list" should be auto-magically created by
the bootstrap code and not be present in the file that is "potentially"
manually edited by an admin. I was also wondering several times why this
is redundantly stored in this file and which one I should modify for it
to work.

I wonder why? Any other way to for example remove extensions that are
giving "Fatal error" in the whole bootstrap mechanism because they are
using obsolete methods in ext_localconf.php for example? This is what I
constantly have the need to do while testing 6.0.. :(
