Agreed. But this is valid for power user that would not really need
the safe merge capability provided by Config::Model.

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.

All the best
