A couple of programs I use have 'expert mode' settings, so by default
they only display the bare minimum of settings needed to do the most
common things, with the hidden options using sane defaults. Once the
'expert' switch is on, then all available options are presented. Making
the expert mode hard to enable (via a manual db update perhaps) with
appropriate warnings, the chance that the average joe reaching them
becomes much slimmer.
I don't know if it's workable, just a thought, and probably one that's
been discussed here already...
