  > In projects where maintenance is lacking you will notice a trend towards 
options sprawl for that reason.
  
  That doesn't make sense. It might mean there's a lack of direction but not 
necessarily a lack of maintenance. Whether expansion leads to "option sprawl" 
really is a matter of opinion.
  
  > The suggestion wrt/ hover feedback that you all seem to like comes from 
asking "what's the actual problem, and is an option the best way to address 
it?". See why the mental habit is useful?
  
  That is a leading question (and a strawman fallacy) based on the supposition 
that there is a problem. It may be and most often is a matter of preference.
  
  > "Plasma does the right thing without needing to be tweaked in the first 
place" is a more lofty and mature aspiration than "Plasma is infinitely 
tweakable".
  
  Plasma being infinitely tweakable doesn't entail its not doing "the right 
thing" in the first place. Versatility doesn't mean indecisiveness.

add more options!" :-)
  
  Just use the one page then and claim there's no more room for more features 
:-)
