I'm picturing an enhanced 'nginx-service' that is able to accept site configuration files from other services (say, a MediaGoblin service) and it sounds like a great feature. Now, is the following scenario possible?: 'mediagoblin-service' can extend both 'apache-service' and 'nginx-service', and when the system configuration is realized, the web service the user has chosen is extended. This is really great stuff. :) - Dave
