The topic is NOT 'get rid of validation' but rather 'get rid of semi-graphical ncurses based interface'. It is not so hard to adopt every piece of validation we currently have in fuelmenu and implement even more including syntax validation using, for example, PLY and logic validation. My idea is to switch from ncurses to plain text file (thoroughly commented), because it so easy to add new parameters or remove those we don't need any more.
