Several Places where I think a config statement option would be valuable.

This was discussed in previous discussions, but I thought I might summarize and add to at a later date.

• A config statement to allow disabling of logging.

  value - cut down on size and maintenance of edit/delete log purging.

• A config statement to allow disabling of logging of some activity id's that won't mess up other functioning.

  value - cut down on size on activity table

• A config statement with a string or array of additional devices that allows additions to the mobile array

  value - prevent non-mobile view on mobile devices as they enter the market.

• also more events on the discussion controller before after user name and time, as well as a title attribute added to anchors

• and a removal of a constant that is tied to a definition that can't seemingly be changed without modifying core.

• on an unrelated note - it would be cool if you removed the conf/locale.php file from the distribution, so users could create one without fear of it being overwritten, since the distribution locale.php is just a skeleton file, it could be renamed /config/localeskeleton.php with a note about adding defintions and how to copy it to locale.php inside to make it acted upon.
  would make it a whole lot easier at upgrade time.

I already removed locale.php from the 2.1 release branch

These are all great ideas in terms of making it easier to change them. We are having a bit of an internal debate about whether or not to keep adding config settings though. I don't like the idea of adding an endless stream of config settings, especially when the design may be the real problem.

Gunna mull over all your suggestions and see where they fit in though.
