I did not understand this bit. Do you mean every plugin in every extension from TER? This is not realistic at all.

They couldn't. These options are deadly useful and they are used by many projects. Do not break these things. Cache period can be set smaller now (like 3h) for some web sites, which require it. Same goes for clearing cache at midnight: this is necessary for certain crawler configurations (for example, if a plugin adds entries to the crawler manually). So removal of these options is not an option at all.
