One primary motivation to try such a thing is because in my situation a lot of config files are tightly coupled with the system. I need everything to update at once. Granted, this is just for configuration files that don't change from system-to-system and/or can be auto-generated. Things that change a lot are maintained differently. -- James. http://jameb.us/
