Thanks. I can't take all the credit/blame - OJ Reeves has written massive 
amounts of code, too.

We're aware that many people like to complain about our use of config files. 
When you write a piece of software, you make the choice between shipping 
software or adding more features. We chose to ship CorrugatedIron and see then 
what people liked and what they didn't like.

People didn't like our use of .NET's crusty old config system that they even 
created a github issue about it: 
https://github.com/DistributedNonsense/CorrugatedIron/issues/4

We hear you and will be moving to get this out as soon as we can after we get 
the Riak 1.0 feature compatibility ironed out.

Is our use of .NET configuration files blocking adoption of CorrugatedIron in 
your organization?
