I think in terms of effects that is equivalent to alerting the configuration at runtime. I.e. it makes debugging equally harder and requires an equal amount of new commands. Given that it doesn’t establish as much as the other directive, I think it doesn’t make sense to be able to source another configuration file.
Furthermore, I think that having a single path to read the configuration from is enough from i3’s point of view, and control over how this configuration should be concatenated/generated stays with the user. -- Best regards, Michael
