The problem is that you'll spend an hour or two setting it all up, it'll work, you'll never touch it again. Then, two years later something will require you
to reconfigure it and there will be no way on this earth that you will
remember what you did or why it made any sense at the time! Ha, ha! :-))

To be fair, is this not mostly the case with the majority of big, powerful servers on *nix platforms?

I have certainly found this to be the case with Apache, Postfix and to a lesser extend Samba. Oh! Also syslog-ng's filtering options. The only text-based configuration file I've found easy to recreate has been that of Dovecot.
