I don't understand why you say "an admin may no longer freely synchronize the conffile"? At least texmf.cnf of our system might be the most standard one in the world, even if a user added local modifications through correct way as update-texmf provided. As I wrote in former email, other systems, like FreeBSD and/or RedHat, might use non-standard texmf.cnf because of lack of an appropriate tool but then there is no need to synchronize with them, IMHO.
