It already is a defcustom; see tooltip.el.

I was only talking about the default value.  I'm afraid that many newbies 
might not even know the tooltips are supported, or even if they do, they 
might not see the tips pop, and thus might not see the helpful text 
there.  The tips will teach them many useful things that they might 
otherwise not know for years (given the bad documentation-reading habits 
of many newbies nowadays).
