I am not for this API. IIUC there are more fined grained well defined
APIs(if I am not wrong from enum 2 upto 33). This is open ended API
which allows user to do whatever setting it needs. And that defeats the
purpose of other APIs.

I will look through the series for the usage of this to understand this
better, but I am guessing how it can be (ab)used.
