I didn't use the hard coded accounts by purpose but by accident:
Once because I edited a large split transactions and created through
a typo an imbalance, once because I use "Aus:..." to create a new
account in "Ausgaben" but got one in the imbalance account, which
starts with "Aus" in german too. 

So I was looking for ways to avoid such accidents.
