A lot of people say they don't understand the decision to not allow customization of this; the main point Mark has tried to drive home on this point (regardless of whether you or I agree with it or not) is that customizability significantly complicates testing, increases the risk of bugs in the tests themselves, and generally makes it harder to make sure the system works /for everyone/.
Every new option -- even if it is just a gconf key -- adds a new code path that must be tested, and furthermore, splits the testing base between users. You get much more out of your testing if everyone is looking at the same unified configuration then if you have a bazillion different custom configurations out there. Hopefully you should now understand -- even if you don't agree with -- why they are not including these as options.
