I can't see why people think having each application to have it's own
configuration file format, configuration parsing code, distributed to
each individual computer in the network is somehow better than having all
configurations in a single place and format.
I'm afraid the crappy _implementation_ of windows registry has clouded
minds. having cfengine or something similar to distribute settings is way
harder than it should be.
As for fedora directory server, I don't think it needs to beat openldap
in enterprise features, but rather in ease of use and getting started.
