I agree with this design philosophy. In this case, however, since
these configuration options are thoroughly dead and subsumed by a
boot-time option, it appears the right thing to do is just to remove
them.
What I have done is remove those two options in CML2. Here is a patch that
will remove them from the 2.5.1-pre and 2.4.17-pre trees:

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive. It will often be exercised when
wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little
rebellion now and then. -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Abigail Adams, 1787
