Brian, I'm definitely interested in overhauling the configuration files.
The reason I suggested punting, however, is that I and the Google team are
chasing a launch milestone for the next few weeks. I would have much more
time for drawing up ideas, discussing them, and implementing them starting
in Q1. I realize that only applies to me, though, and if people want to
start that discussion soon, then I'll contribute to it. I have several
ideas in that direction, if we're going to do a wholesale change to our
configuration setup.
