Can't think of any that won't. Some may not care (e.g. because they only use syntax-ppss and not font-lock), but I can't think of any where we'd need/want to specify different values for the various packages that could use such info. > That's entirely the Wrong Thing to do.

I look at it from the exact opposite viewpoint: the packages that need to set those boundaries may not even need/want to use syntax-ppss (or font-lock) themselves, so it'd be completely wrong for them to have to set a syntax-ppss-* variable (or a font-lock-* variable).
