For SHOW SLAVE STATUS, there is a Connect_Retry column. Isn't that the master-connect-retry?
In general, I would have preferred just showing the slave status variables (i.e., variables that actually change while the slave is
running) and showing slave configuration variables just under SHOW VARIABLES (with a suitable prefix for slave variables). However, since the SHOW SLAVE STATUS contain all kinds of information about the slave execution and configuration, we might just as well add the variables you mention above to both lists. This is probably what the customers expect right now.

IMHO, we should ensure that this is added to both lists (with the same reasoning as above). If it is not changeable, I would suggest that we ensure that it is indeed a changeable server variables, since there is no rational reason to not allow it.
