Hello Ivan, Thank you very much for your quick response!
Is the decision of deprecating the ini files final / irrevocable? If yes, then I guess I'll have to migrate to one of the options you mentioned (even if you could revert the change, it would be in a deprecated feature anyway). Is this decision because of lack of interest in having them, or lack of mantainment? What would be required to keep them? I think I'd like to cooperate if there still some interest in not loosing this feature. Best!
