There are technical issues such as actually more difficult
administration despite claims to the opposite (you shouldn't *need* to
use new tools which may not even be available where the configuration
happens) and whilst xml is an improvement over binaries formats to
save processing no one needs to save, it is not the best method.

You assume he was saying he thought it true, perhaps he was being
sarcastic in that there are negative comparisons to be made that could
lead you to believe it and that incidentally I will add (without
alledging anything and acknowledging some of the great work Redhat does)
almost always point to the Redhat desktop world, for whatever true
reason that has not yet been properly identified.
The image has far more value that the way this thread has been hijacked.
