IMHO, there doesn't have to be a line drawn anywhere. If people request more options, why not provide them? Unless there's a good reason not to. These kind of switches make packing a lot easier and provide more flexibility to anyone who runs CouchDB from source. Take a look at ./configure --help from a MySQL source download, or Apache. Plenty of options to choose from. :) Till
