Comment:
WordPress aims to avoid adding options except for those absolutely
necessary. This especially includes more technical options. This is
outlined in the [https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/ WordPress
Philosophies]
Decisions, not options
When making decisions these are the users we consider first. A great
example of this consideration is software options. Every time you give a
user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user
doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to
frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for
everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right?
Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the
average end user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make
smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices
on our end users.
As such, I think this should be closed as `wontfix`.
