OTOH, if we refrain from creating one, many tweak tools will pop. Sort
of what Ubuntu had a few years ago... and I bet still has: a bazillion
tools that do a lot of not-really-smart stuff to "tweak" and "enhance"
your desktop.

But of course, having such module means we will get a bug for
absolutely every configuration key in existence... which would make me
say that we don't really want the plumbing module.
