I still can't find any difference between 0.5 and >=0.6 format other 
than readability. The nested structure remains much the same but <=0.5 
was easier to read and easier to edit by hand.

The cumbersomeness  to edit the /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf by hand does 
not mean It can't be edited by hand.

Tne cherokee admin tool is optional. I could some day prefer to just 
copy the /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf from one server to another and do 
minor edits by hand.

Something I wish Cherokee had is a directory named /etc/cherokee/conf.d 
and put small config files in it but in the meantime I can survive 
without includes.

My point is: The /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf is a configuration file and 
should live in the same place than the rest of the configuration files. 
I see no reason for moving it to /var/lib .
