I don't think it's particularly true that, "Ubuntu Tweak and similar tools (concerning Unity) will not break anything".

Ubuntu Tweak still offers "computer janitor" which has been known to confuse many end users, and even further if you "hover" the mouse pointer in the wrong area in some "tweak areas" and "scroll" you can easily change things with no obvious way to restore defaults.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool. I love using it to play with themes in Gnome 3, regardless of DE, but it's far from mature enough to be included in the repos.

I respectfully disagree. The options that can be tweaked from Ubuntu Tweak and similar tools (concerning Unity) will not break anything, and for the most part can be changed on the fly (without restarting that is).

There is no reason not to include such a tool by default.
