I'm a bit sick of wingy .. people complaining about something they
obtained for free as if they're owed something. Is it really too much
to ask for users to think a bit, do functional tests on their code and
read the ample documentation? (que attempted witty retort regarding
well that's open source philosophy etc.)

you only need to:
set the cookie name
if you use the email component - set the xMailer

anything else whereby you could potentially come across the cakephp
showing up in the source is a file you should be editing anyway - like
email layouts, error messages and the default home page.

You mean you use your clients for testing? do they get a discount for
that?
