I'm not either, really. Another option would be to list "checked out"
mrconfig files in another file (~/.mrconfigs).

That's good..

mr does read ~/.mrconfig first. Something could be added, perhaps in
the ALIAS section, to enable options by default. I'm not sure though,
how this is better than shell aliases?

The issue is not really local write permissions, it is mrconfig files that
others may edit via VCS. For example, I've proposed that d-i convert to
git and use a toplevel mrconfig file to list all the git repositories.
