It's not about writing the code. It's about having extra bloat (no  
matter how small it is) for the benefit of 1-2 installations in the  
world. I'm not currently convinced it's going to be useful for more  
installations than that.

In future the statedir might have other files that are actually going  
to be per-instance. In that situation a setting would be useful for  
more people, but currently I can't even think of what such files could  
be so perhaps that's never going to happen.
