Most (perhaps not enough) checks know when to consider themselves "not 
applicable" in appropriate circumstances so don't need to be deactivated.

Many (perhaps not enough) checks give you the flexibility (by using the check 
parameter) to have the system check what your site views as best practice even 
if that does not match what IBM thinks is best practice (and you might have 
fully valid reasons for your best practice). Such checks can be thought of as 
validating that your best practice has not (inadvertently or otherwise) been 
changed (such as by someone meaning well, seeing that you're not running with 
the documented-by-IBM best practice, changing something).

If there is a non-controversial "everyone agrees that this is the right thing 
to do" situation, we try to move that towards not giving an option, just making 
it that way. But "everyone agrees" is a difficult target to reach.
