+## Why don't you make an option for…?
+
+We prefer good defaults over providing an option for each edge case. Our resources are quite limited, so we have to consider introducing new options very carefully.
+
+1. A feature is implemented quickly, but who will maintain it for the next 5 years?
+2. Each option increases the test matrix exponentially and leads to huge efforts to test every combination
+3. Each option increases the possible constellations, making it hard to track down issues
+4. Each option increases the visual noise for people who will *not* use the options
+5. Each option increases the maintenance efforts, making it harder over the time to work on actual features
+6. Each option introduces new side effects, which might lead to undiscovered bugs or break existing features
