I think the "permanence" counter argument (which I don't agree with,
just recounting it for completeness) was that command-line arguments
may be embedded in init scripts by some distributions and then
administrators would be surprised when their modifications to the
configuration files weren't respected. Ultimately, however, any time
distribution defaults which could be set in packaged configuration
are instead being set with the service command-line in packaged init
scripts, I would tend to just consider that a (serious) packaging
bug and certainly nothing we should be catering to as a project.
