I'm not sure whether that setting survives a disconnect on my USB programmer,
but relying on some value stored there might prove unreliable; It did cost me
quite some time to find out why I wasn't able to program a controller my
programmer did handle quite fine a short time ago - I guess that somehow the
bitclock value got lost. Having a set of default values stored in ~/.avrduderc
makes the entire process more deterministic while not complicating the command
lines.

I'll look into that, thank you for your reply.
