The big disadvantage is that the configuration of your production
website instances are not in a VCS, you cannot track or merge changes
to them or their ancestors, and if a box goes kabluie, you can't
instantly re-create it. Configuration is code, code lives in a VCS.

(Our configuration files live in a separate repository to the project
or app code, and are finangled into place based upon the hostname)
