As Marc said, from the viewpoint of a distributor it's great, as you can create your own "namespace" like $acl_m_debian_* without limiting the user or worse, having hard to trace problems because of the user using your variables. And for "more code and complication", I don't think that this really is a problem here, exim contains far more code that is user by a VERY small userbase. But with the adding of more and more variables and options to exim, one should think about refactoring the current code a bit, so it gets easier to maintain.
