Are you suggesting we keep appending? So if I set the same parameter 100
times, it would show up on 100 rows?
In my opinion, absolutely. It's easy, safe, and the "overhead"
associated with it is minimal, and not in any critical path "work" path.
Add to that the fact that the admin can easily clean up the file any
time he wants too.
I think this is quite unacceptable and ugly. Creating an ever-growing
file that the admin would have to clean up by hand is horrid.
ISTM that this whole area is likely to be difficult unless we move to a
more structured config file (JSON, anyone?)
