Comment (by claudep):

 I think that choosing to customize some behavior by a setting or by code
 depends on:

  * the configured value is strongly instance-specific, and might change
 for each environment: -> setting
  * the configured value is project-specific and is not supposed to change
 on each deployment environment: -> code

 For example, the SMTP host and port are completely dependent on the
 machine on which the code is running. I find a bit strange to ask people
 to change the code of a project or application each time they want to
 deploy it on another environment. With this reasoning, I think that even
 the timeout might be better set by a setting :-/
