  Absolutely not.  These are very important settings for people on various 
sorts of unreliable (or particularly reliable) networks, as well as those 
behind all sorts of firewalls.  The defaults are sensible already and very 
few people need to use this KCM - so it just sits there unused and 
unobtrustive.  Nevertheless, people do need it.  There is no reason to remove 
it, and perhaps reason to add more to it.
