How configurable should Emacs packages be?
I was just reading over the release notes of Denote 2.1 and I saw that a new option was added to control filename casing.
It makes sense on some level to accommodate users, but maybe in the context of hackable Free Software programs, the original code should be kept simple enough that a user could maintain a fork with their desired behavior.
Neither extreme is perfect, but should we bias toward code customization instead?
