See... the workload and maintanablilty plays quite a role here ;-)
Abstracting those concepts directly in the code apparently works nice due to
the frontend/backends separation.
Now, if the backends could also abstract out the syntax (inheritanble parsers)
and semantic (config description files) it could be much easier to extend and
maintain the config tools.
Granted it requires also work to implement such an abstraction, though at
least a prototype seems to be there.
I think we already talked about that in a thread about GST using Config4GNU
concepts though, right? :)
Cheers,
Christian
