Perhaps we need some way to remind people about such features. I'm not sure
when we'd do it, maybe on upgrade. Or maybe have a menu item that pops up a
dialog reminding you of the stupid things you did, and have clicking on said
menu item in the bug reporting guide lines.

That may just cause people to complain about the reminders, and the same
people who don't remember they turned on the Iconfy on Away plugin may also
not read or follow bug submission guide lines.
