I suppose so, though I do not really want to encourage people to write
to the fd. However, given that they can see these variables anyway, via
the "back door" I suppose it isn't giving away much to put them into the
official API, though it's a bit of work to update the code and the
documentation.

Yes, that's true.

Well, there won't be another Exim release for some time, given that 4.67
came out last week. But I guess you can patch it. :-)
