We may run into a chicken-egg situation by moving important but not fully
working content into the expert configuration. An alternative could be to just
disable the option in the UI and/or to show some info text (as commented
below...).

Sounds like low hanging fruit.

Miklos is (among many other things) expert for the gutter. What do you think?
