Comment (by UseShots):

 Will there be a way to find out whether the remote publishing is disabled
 or not?
 I.e. some meaningful error message when you call the disabled XML-RPC
 methods or a special method that answers "disabled/enabled".

 As a weblog client developer I would like to let the users know that why
 the "publishing" failed and tell them what they should do to fix the
 issue. So I need to distinguish this error from all other types of errors.

 P.S. BTW adding the option to the "5 minute install" won't help much.
 People install blogs, then, after some time, they discover remote weblog
 clients. By that time they have already forgotten about those options they
 saw during the install.
