 There are many great plugins which try to get close to this but as a admin
 on a network of 500 blogs I don't really want blog admins to be changing
 the Timezone, or permalink structures of their blogs.

 I think in Network Admin it would be good if you could define:

 + Defaults for each setting
 + Hide each setting, on a per setting basis rather than the whole page
 + Update settings for all blogs

 I know this sounds like a great plugin and it would be but, core does not
 have filters or hooks to allow you to programmatically disable things on a
 setting by setting basis, only on a page by page basis.

 I have looked into CSS and Javascript options and have found it is not
 really possible to maintain a plugin like this because backward
 computability would soon become a nightmare if someone changes something
 minor on the page you suddenly have to test for every possibility.

 I think this would be a great feature for core which is worth having and
 not just a separate plugin, however short of that, I have raised another
 ticket along side this regarding the lack of pluggability of option pages
 in core.
