Just as on #914542: The hidden variables should be editable via an admin setting page, I copy verbatim:

This is fully on purpose.

Hidden variables are setup level changes that should not need any configuration in most set ups.

Most importantly, they should not be changed by anybody who is not familiar with the code. Hence it does not make sense to expose them in the UI.

Is there a specific variable where the above does not apply?
