Well, I believe there are SOME debug settings that are worth changing for a
developer, but NOT for the user. I am thinking of "ConnectionPort" for
example. Change that for the average user and they can't connect to SL
anymore until they actually find out how to change this value back and to
what value, if ever. Granted they could reinstall the viewer, but still it
is annoying at best. You could also sneak a change on "MediaShowOnOthers" to
force the avatar to see the media on your own attachments, and use that to
hack their computer. There are plenty of nasty things you can do if this can
of worms is opened.
