Must you make it optional?  I think we have too many options as it is.  Having 
a Rosegarden capable of running in different states with different things 
turned off has really proved to be more of a burden than a boon.

Let's just make the damn thing required and quit being such pansies about 
trying to be everything to everybody.  I think we need to apply that more 
broadly in other ways too.  Fewer options, fewer configurable behaviors.  
Avoid adding more of this, and perhaps we should well get rid of some of what 
we currently have.

That's my vote.
