Just thinking, wow that leads to a lot of config files....

Woulnd't it make sense to have some sort of implicitness or inheritance in the
design, so that when you want to change a behavior globally, you woudn't have to
edit tens of files.

I.e. having a default.conf and a profile dependent add on that is able
to override:

cat default.conf $profile.conf > current_config.conf ?

must my 0.02 $
