Agreed. But this is valid for power user that would not really need the safe merge capability provided by Config::Model. > I dare you to try one for sendmail.cf. (and yes, often don't > use the new fangled m4 stuff) A complete model of sendmail.cf would also be required only for power users like you. For the "mother-in-law use case", it would be more useful to validate that upgrades will work correctly for "Config::Model enabled" packages. Later on, the more packages use Config::Model, the easier will be the system maintenance of "most common" users.
