Why?
not providing a config like he said seems to 'reduce the configurability' IMO.
If you 'hack a configuration file' then that has nothing to do with the 
configurability. But a lot more with coding/checking overhead (since you have 
to check for it in the software anyway). The GUI (o.a. me) people will not complain 
about that!
