In my opinion (for what it is worth, probably two cents only!),
AllowPatronToControlAutorenewal is ok as it is, because it does what the title
of the syspref says it does. I do think we need a master switch for this
feature, like the ILLModule syspref. 

The syspref could be called simply Autorenewal. 
Enable/Disable the auto-renewal feature.
NOTE: This system preference requires the misc/cronjobs/automatic_renewals.pl
cronjob. Ask your system administrator to schedule it. 
NOTE: You must configure the auto-renewal settings in your circulation rules.

This system preference would do what Chris said above
> * hid[e] the "Allow auto-renewal of items" choice in the Library Management
> settings for the patron.
> * hid[e] the three columns in the circulation rules that deal with Auto Renewal.

A note should be added to AllowPatronToControlAutorenewal and
OPACFineNoRenewalsBlockAutoRenew
NOTE: This system preference has no effect if Autorenewal is set to Disable.
