IMO, making that configurable would simply be insane.

Too much configurability is simply confusing to the user. Especially if
the configuration brings them no actual benefits. In this case, what
admin is going to say "wow. I'd be so much happier if I had that screen
on *every* page. I just use it ALL the time."  None.

Seems like the simplest solution. If there is a template or something
you can change instead, I'd point there.
