So, if the flag were dependent upon say, the client type, I could have :

clientFlag = getClientFlag ( clientType )

and in getClientFlag :

 If clientType = TYPE_THIS....etc
 If clientType = TYPE_THAT....etc

But this is seen as 'hard-coding' the client type and seems to be discouraged here. Hence the preference for adding the flag to the client file.
