configuration files
Just a hypothetical question I've been pondering lately:
I'm just wondering what the future holds for configuration files found
in /etc (or wherever for that matter) ? Are we ever going to see a
shift towards an XML based config-system? Or is the general consensus
that 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' ?
I know there's a lot of merit/legacy in the standard *nix way of doing
config files, but it seems kind of logical that an XML based
config-system would be the next step. It's still text based, and
therefore can be edited by hand (if necessary), but it can also be
validated to ensure correctness (in structure & syntax).
Is there any interest in this sort of thing?
I'm just curious,
