What fails there? Here it does not fail, or did you try to *upgrade*.

Yes, I want to get ri of practically everything in /etc/texmf, it
is a pain in managing, and libkpathsea already supports stacked
texmf.cnf, so dropping a texmf.cnf with *only* the changed files
into /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf will work.
In the long run it will give up a much easier system.
Same is with updmap.cfg, where updmap.d is completely gone.
And if I manage I want to rewrite fmtutil script, too, and make it
worke in a stacked way, too, reading all fmtutil.cnf it can find.
Why are you strongly *against* transition away form it?
I would propose a adical approach: move everything into a
DISABLED dir and tell the admin he should move changes to a new
texmf.cnf.
Come on, *nobody* changes texmf.cnf anyway, why keep it there?!?!
But I am open for suggestions.
Best wishes
Norbert
