I think less configuration there is an improvement :) The problem seems to be that "carrot.algorithm" can be any clustering component that plugs into the Carrot2 framework -- including our commercial algorithm (I don't think there's anything else besides that). We suck at brand differentiation and many of our customer have found it difficult to tell the difference between Carrot2, Lingo, Lingo3G and where to put the configuration bits and pieces in Solr code. So while it doesn't harm any users of the open source algorithms it helps those already using (or willing to try) the commercial algorithm to locate the relevant bits.
