Makes sense. Actually, it better be:
- Have the config file with commented lines of possible choices.
Clearly explain the choices and how to uncomment as per the user choice.
[ Should be as simple as we handle pkg-get.conf between stable vs. unstable
downloads. ]
Sorry for getting into a design/implementation detail in arc discussion, but
this is to set the right precedence for such future projects.
