If you do a bit of reading, you'll see that the multi-config files setup
is very flexible. It has made it so I can use Exim4 with C-Panel and
Plesk, rather than <shudder> the default. Yes, I have a heavily invested
time into it... but it works and I don't care.

Just think how nice it would be to be able to drop a template file into
a directory for a domain (virtual) and then allow the owner to have
control over it through a svn merge. So that it can be reverted.

It'd be hell to do that with the single config.
