There are pros and cons of such a system but I think for newbie
admins that
would be a thousand times *more* baffling. You would have to learn new
commands and have no holistic view of what parameters had been set,
what
related parameters might exist. You also have no way to keep the
file in a
version control system or sync across servers etc.
FWIW, this has not been a barrier to MySQL adoption.
