Sometimes all my settings get cleared
lights0ut:
Not that I know of, besides I think BigBambi just explained why you wouldn't want the clear settings feature turned off.
Llorean:
If you use the newest bootloader, Rockbox boots into the original firmware if hold is on. You have to intentionally turn hold on AFTER the bootloader checks it, but BEFORE Rockbox is booted and checks it.
Seriously, it's very hard to do with the most recent bootloader. Under what circumstances are you doing this regularly enough that it's actually causing you a problem significant enough that you want to remove the possibility of recovering an iPod that locks up instantly on boot?

By editing the bootloader source code, compiling your own then patching your iPod with it.
How do you know you won't suffer from any of these problems? Just because you haven't hitherto doesn't mean you won't. I think removing them would be foolish of you, but if you really want to feel free to dig into the code, that's the beauty of open source.
Toxikator:
Yeah, but those problems are so rare that, if it DOES happen, you can just connect rockbox to your computer and get rid of the config file.

And if you aren't near a computer? If you accidentally reset settings and have a cfg saved, easy fix whatever the circumstances. If you get a startup problem and aren't near a computer (say at the start of a trip), you can't reset until you are back near a computer. Either way, you are free to do as you wish, I was just pointing out why I think it is a valuable feature, and as I'm pretty damn sure the devs agree with me, don't plan on it going anywhere soon.
