Be careful with this if you start doing config file management with activation 
keys. While you can define the priority of configs within an activation key, 
you can NOT define priority of activation keys.  As long as each activation key 
has unique items that it maintains, you will be fine.

An example of the issue:

Config channels:
    core-files: files all servers get (eg, /etc/sysctl.conf)
    oracles-files: new oracle-specific files, but also include files that 
should override core-files (eg, /etc/sysctl.conf with oracle-specific settings)

If you manage the config channels with keys like this:
    Key 1 - Core files
    Key 2 - Oracle files

You do not have control over whether the files in Key 1 or Key 2 get applied 
first.  If Key 1 files get applied first then Key 2, you will get the expected 
behavior (the oracle-specific /etc/sysctl.conf will be on the system), but if 
they are applied in the other order, your oracle server will have the 
“standard” /etc/sysctl,conf, not the one with the oracle-specific settings.

The only way to _guarantee_ the proper priority is to put both config channels 
under a single key and manage the priority directly.  There is no priority 
setting at a key level.

Again, as long as everything in each key is unique (nothing is overriding 
anything else), it will work as expected.
