But my point is that this rule is too strict because MultiViews was
already enabled in the userdir config file under /etc.

IMHO, Options=MultiViews should just mean that the user is allowed
to change the MultiViews status. But if the user doesn't change it,
Options=MultiViews shouldn't be needed. Indeed there's no harm if
the user uses an option that has no effect (because already set
in the same context under /etc).
