That is a very good reason to keep configuration options at a minimum,
at least temporarily. Currently, most configuration tools require a lot
of knowledge about the system. It is not immediately obvious that
enabling focus follows mouse will make it nearly impossible to use the
mouse to access menus. That kind of configuration makes things
unnecessarily complicated. We need to thoroughly understand how each
config option affects other options. There are several examples in
Nautilus, for instance. It's quite possible to configure your system to
become almost unusable.
