Comment (by brade):

 I understand that you would like the default values to appear in a few
 easily accessible locations for users to be able to uncomment and modify
 and also that you don't want users to have to run Tor Browser in order to
 make these changes.

 Unfortunately the two files you suggest will be completely rewritten when
 the browser is updated.  I don't want end users to think that it is
 acceptable to put ANY settings in those particular files (especially when
 they should be put in more appropriate places such as torrc).

 The other considerations I have include:
 (1) I do not want the values appearing in multiple locations in the source
 code (especially with different values) and
 (2) Tor Launcher is used by more than Tor Browser; changes should not
 negatively impact TorBirdy nor TAILS.
