Wouldn't it be an idea that in the process of that conversion the
developers use the sometimes-slightly-critiqued motto of "If you want it
differently, please provide patches" and you just go ahead and scrap
those useless options from the GUI? If things might need to be re-added
it would require a patch, and that path would place the those options
(if the patch is accepted of course) into the new beginner/expert
implementation of the options.
Lonely complainers without a patch can always use MythWeb to edit the
settings themselves.
