If that's broadly enough construed, nofollow could fall under that, because
$wgNoFollowLinks controls whether users have access to be able to add external
links that won't have rel=nofollow. Actually, almost anything could fall under
that. E.g., $wgLogo controls what logo users have access to see by default in
the top left corner; $wgMaxArticleSize controls the size of a revision users
have access to be able to save; etc.

It's kinda arbitrary to include stuff like $wgEnotifUserTalk in the installer
and not some of this other stuff. I'd file a bug to remove those settings from
the installer, but I don't want to violate the rule against disrupting
MediaWiki to prove a point.
