I thought the only institutions that were running a vanilla Sakai were 
running a pilot.

Is Oxford University running a vanilla Sakai in production and using 
these configuration properties?

Do we know institutions running a vanilla Sakai in production who have 
set these configuration properties?

Lots of other strings are not customizable. Making all those available 
through configuration for unheard-of use cases will be a nightmare, AFAICT.

BTW, I think you can update the resource bundles within Tomcat.
