It doesn't have to be that way. It could be made so that it's harmless,
so that it has no effect at all unless explicitly enabled by an option.
Then there's no need to carefully manage it. Users and packagers
can set it wherever they want without fear of breaking things.

It could be made safe so that it's possible to export it.
Then it can always be set to some reasonable value.
