I agree that it is just a debug mode and it would discourage people from using it if it was removed from MeGUI. I agree that there a quite a few people who think they should enable everything, and then complain about how slow it is.

However, MeGUI is the only GUI at the moment which supports all of x264's features, and I don't think that we should give up on that, just for the sake of better user choices.

I think the only bridge between these two problems is some form of warning the user that it is pointless. However, I think the beginning user will just ignore any such warning, so it comes down to the choice between limiting the program and trusting the users, and I prefer to trust the users, as long as they are given a warning.
