It is? Why? Are there any technical reasons for this besides "Windows uses it"? For simple key=value-type configuration that may need grouping, I really don't see an issue. XML tends to be rather long-winded, and the hierarchical format that apt uses doesn't have a readily-usable parser outside of apt (at least not that I know of). -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
