Once again, every option you introduce expands the test space by 2X.
"Do or Do not. There is no try"
Either it works all the time or it is a bad idea.

Sorry if I sound like a broken record, the project I used to work on
had the same kind of "always add an option" policy. But every time
an option was changed, there was a 50/50 chance that it was broken because
that combination of options had not been tested since originally added
and was non functional due to bit rot.
