On the other hand one could say that there are Gentoo-Devs which are |
| 8 |
biased against anything that can work without using XML. |

To quote Wikipedia.org[1]: |
| 11 |
"The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a W3C-recommended |
| 12 |
general-purpose markup language for *creating special-purpose markup |
| 13 |
languages*." (Emphasis added by me.) |

There are occasions where creating a completely new markup language with |
| 16 |
XML does make sense. However, this particular enhancement does not need it. |

IMHO a text based file has a big advantage in this proposed application |
| 19 |
over fileformats which use XML: Any administrator can read it with his |
| 20 |
editor of choice, right from the console. |
