Except that they're different ideas - any option would be in one 
category and one level, they're not related.

I severely doubt that NOBODY will use the server for changing options, 
and there's no reason to NOT add this feature just because not 
everybody would use it.  Those who will change it from the client, 
will change it from the client.  Those who will change it from the 
server, will prefer that it be easier to do so.
