Only a handful params actually need changing from site to site. There are a dusin params that I've neer seen anyone use to any good effect.. in particular, most of the ones labeled "NB: We do not know yet if it is a good idea to change this" are voodoo for users.
On the other hand, I was thinking how does language-as-config relate to the too-many-knobs effect? Language constructs aren't knobs per se; they let the (literate) user write their own desired system behavior, but forces them to invest in a steep learning curve. So it's either not-a-knob or infinite-knobs...
