Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1547:
-----------------------------------

One thing I've thought about a few times that I think should be considered: 
rather than having separate include/exclude/decom files, why not have one file 
with a very simple .properties style format?
{code}
dn1 = active
dn2 = active
dn3 = decomission
dn4 = exclude
{code}

This way we don't have to enumerate all the combinatorics like "what if it's in 
both include and exclude? what if it's in decomission but not include?"
