I don't think it's a good "feature".

Original reason was:
> It makes much more sense to move the checkbox "secondary options" to
> the user's settings module. This will also make the BE a bit cleaner

Why does it make more sense and under which circumstances?
Usually I can enable/disable secondary options quickly when necessary.
This is done within the BE module that I am currently working with and this
is how it make sense.

Need to see secondary options? => Check => Do something => Do something else
=> Don't Need them anymore => Uncheck => Go on

I guess people do not really want to additionally switch to the user
settings each time during that "workflow" just to have a "cleaner" backend:

Need to see secondary options? => Go To User Settings => Check => Save => Go
back => Do something => Do something else => Don't Need them anymore => Go
To User Settings => Uncheck => Save => Go on

Usability is not just about the look of an interface but about the working
speed you can gain from it as a power user as well.

So -1 for this patch because IMHO it is not necessary at all.

Cheers

Joey
