I don't think it's a good idea to take some huge collection of prefs and just apply them blindly.
Instead, make the changes that you actually want to do, so that you actually know what changes you are causing. If you want to put those into your user.js file then feel free, but in my opinion it's just better to change them in about:config directly - that is, unless you need to apply the exact same set of changes to multiple profiles.
Betterfox, arkenfox, & Narsil tells you about the prefs and what they do. But I do get your point.
Right, and that's fine. The one good thing about these "collections" is when they describe what the pref does (I mean, so does official source typically). But that matters only as long as the audience actually reads those descriptions. But then if you just pick the ones you actually care about (which you should totally do) it becomes irrelevant from which "collection" you found about it from.
