Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
As per http://drupal.org/node/155483#comment-285058 it'd be nice to backport the changes from the update.module in D6 core where the settings tab uses system_settings_form(). This would make it more consistent with other settings tabs, and would provide nice functionality like "Reset to defaults" automatically.
