We had this discussion a long while ago and the argument was that we
already have a configuration file of sorts. It is a bash script with one
flag per line that sets the environment. Is this not sufficient?

Example:

config.sh

MESOS_WORK_DIR="/var/run/mesos"
MESOS_QUORUM=2

$ source config.sh
$ ./bin/mesos-master.sh
