I think that it is a clear advantage that it is *possible* to change files in /etc (or other places) either manually or via rules/playbooks from ansible. Fits my "workflow" better. I will take the synced /etc-s as templates to define some roles and start applying them to test-machines step by step ... this way the existing configs get migrated to rules/roles/playbooks slowly.
