The advantage of using revision control for server configuration files, etc, is that you can do diffs, etc, that you can't do as easily with a typical machine backup. But that's fairly obvious, isn't it? Personally, I would be very happy if server configuration files were generally treated this way, because I can't count the number of times I've found a file that's been changed from default settings, with no indication of when or why. > As for the actual content of the source files, DID I EVER > MENTION ANYTHING about that? > > NO, I did not and I wouldn't like to have you tell me otherwise. When reading email, it's very difficult to discern intent, attitude, or emotional state. So, I interpret your responses with the assumption that they're written for the best possible reasons, with positive intent. That said, I think that many readers here might find your responses unpleasant and off-putting. I mention this solely to let you know this, if you don't already know. Feel free to disregard it.
