That may be the case, but for some applications say named, dhcp or ldap
does it not seem reasonable that a generic configuration format may
require a balance between putting less logic in the config structure
requiring more of the application? If so I can see how this would be a
turn off for some applications even though it may be an overall win for
the system as a whole.
Cheers,
