Why is that not a serious answer (other than the tone)?

Making variables permanent buffer-local has consequences, and frankly,
margins seem something more likely to depend on the major mode than
the buffer.

If no one ever has asked for certain variables to be permanent
buffer-local, other than mumamo, why cannot mumamo handle them?
(Honest question, I don't know the answer.)
