If that option is there, it will be used.  If it is used, laymen will
get useless suggestions from bogotune and will get lousy results with
bogofilter.  Should we clutter the code with bad options and then say,
"actually this is a bad thing, don't use it"?  Isn't it better to let
those who want to play do their own coding and keep the distributed
version clean?

I really don't see it as onerous to keep a personal patch and patch
bogofilter every time I install a new release.  Been doing it for over
a year now, in fact.
