I just tried to show that the real world creates unique problems
that would destroy the "single config mechanism" concept.

Completely agreed. There *are* too many variants of the same
idea and, due to historical reasons, many inconsistencies.
So while I don't believe we can have one config mechanism, I do
accept your assertion that we don't need 100 different ones either.

I simply offered a strategy that may work IMO. Namely, collect
current working practices and "galvanize" them through well designed
API's.

BTW: anybody (not just you) know the answer to my (irrelevant) riddle?
     [why the reboot(8) command need to have a disasterous -n option]
     If no one answer, I'll have to publish the "solution"
