On one hand, I agree; providing such a knob could be beneficial.

On the other, I've dealt with numerous support issues because people
have unconditionally used `expert-mode' knobs and complained because
things broke.  (c.f., "build.sh -E").
I.e, I have a fear of clueless knobs overrating their ability to use
expert-mode knobs.
