And therein lies the rub. I've been very careful to make sure that
Augeas' usability does not depend on any upstream adopting it - they
have perfectly valid reasons not to do that, starting with that they
can't tell which proposed scheme will actually work out (and therefore
deserve their support) 

Augeas (or any similar config scheme) _has_ to be workable without
upstream support - it would be great if we get some eventually [1], but
we first need to prove that Augeas is worth their effort.

[1] And for now, it would really only require them shipping a schema
with their software, i.e. plonking one text file
into /usr/share/augeas/lenses

Cool. It would be really useful to see some doco online about how an upstream could support the forma - and see some sample schemas for, say, Samba / BIND / Apache HTTPD.

Cheers,

Mike
