I agree, right now it is a step backward. A nasty one.
But if there were some sort of repository that you could just download a
config, or it automatically fetches, then that would be an improvement.
If the repository was setup for example like the Gentoo-Portage.com site
interface, it might make things real easy.
Just think, you search for a device like a Kensington Mouse or keyboard.
A list is presented of what features a config which has been created
will do for that device, you pick and download it into the proper
directory, done!
Of course also set things up so people could upload a config they have
made or tweaked with some details of what it does.
