I don't blame you. It's partly, though not all, a ConfigParser thing. The
difficulty for me with configuration is, there's very little chance of a
consensus for how it should work. Everybody will have their opinion, they'll all
have good points, but nobody will agree :-( Backwards compatibility might be
manageable, if we stick to a ConfigParser format and introduce a "version" key
somewhere.

Can you point me to a ticket or post about it?

Thanks and regards,
