Honestly allowing content creators to set the theme of a place seems like a pretty awesome idea. It isn't shoving settings down your throat any more than the textures an estate owner chooses for the ground or a content creator for the walls of their house. Just like you can choose to force it to noon/sunrise/sunset/whatever an easy way to revert the environment to normal (or your desired preset) would be required, of course. But you can also leave if you don't like the mood of the place, or the psychodelic sky. Right now the biggest benefits of windlight past the default settings is pretty much limited to machinima and screenshots - there is no easy way to share that environment with others. As a content creator there is no way set the mood of the sky to go with your build - you always get blue skys with a smattering of clouds, or a starry night.
Claiming this is forcing settings down your throat is over reacting and fear mongering. It really is no different than setting the water level, the ground textures, the time of day, and even the content that is built in world. Windlight settings should be a part of the build and not something you have to opt into or be bugged with a dialog to see.* - Kelly * None of this is a statement of intent to implement any of these suggestions or non-suggestions. I am only addressing the fear of people setting the sky texture and variables.
