I agree they are useful, but they are for use in scripts
basically. They can be "expanded" to the config file
options. This will increase readability of the scripts (and
of course some work to do the change for eveybody), but
since we are cleaning the house, it seems the right time to
consider this change, they are no longer needed by the new
options.
