[Phpmyadmin-devel] config settings for sysadmins

[Zeeshan M.]

*I favor the KISS principle, and I don't see who would need to fine-tune
which parameter can be saved by user, or not.

Keeping things more simple means less documentation to write, less
parameters to worry about for sysadmins, etc. Not to mention less code
bloat which leads to slower performance.*

Sure, sounds like a good idea.  Let's keep it super simple. :)
