You could provide a fooconfig command, or plugin to some administration
toolset (if we had one with a future, unlike smc), but many projects don't,
which is why new config files in /etc were banned by the SMF policy.
Of course, like most big rules & SAC policies, we only apply to new projects,
and the trivial way to be exempted is to leave the old code untouched and
not come back to ARC with any enhancements, effectively encouraging
stagnation.
