We get what you're trying to say,, you are ignoring what everyone else
is saying back.

If The old link to displayconfig was left in the menus by default, lots
of people would use it, and we would have even more people here messed
up because of improper settings in xorg.conf.

If you need to make changes in this configuration for your hardware to
work, chances are, it's probably a bug, and needs to be fixed.  Exposing
more people to a dialog box that would result in invalid configuration
files being written is not a good solution.  It is, in fact, for the
purpose of protecting newbies that the old and obsolete config program
is a little more hidden.
