Description
current description is like this:
-------------- snipp ----------------
If set, you can install extensions in the sysext/ dir. Use this to upgrade the 'cms' and 'lang' extensions.
-------------- snapp ---------------
This has lead users to enable it cause they thought it wold help them on problems with installing language-packs in 4.0. ;(
My Suggestion:
-------------- snipp ----------------
If set, you can install extensions in the sysext/ dir. This should not be necessary since systemextensions are kept by typo3 source-packages. Only enable this if you really know what you are doing. You might get unexpected results otherwise.

Hmm: A user who has access to the install tool is an administrator.
As administrator you should know, what you do, if you change things. We could add a "Be careful!" hint to every setting in the install tool. Please, don't do that!
Also I think that this problem won't arise that easy today, because changing the language does no longer have anything to do with installing an extension (language pack). Instead you just download the files using the EM; no need to install any exnteion.
Therefore (and because there were no further answers since 2006) I think this minor issue can be closed as "Won't fix".
