I think we should focus on better API for apps instead of forging the default EAL config into the stone of a config file. Anyway, we do not have enough time in 17.08 release cycle to properly discuss this important topic. I hope it opens the discussion in order to have a clear view of what we could change and integrate in 17.11.
