I agree. Modularity is nice, and when sometimes missed too much,
people then tend to have each configuration line in a separate file :)

I'd even go as far as declare legacy as part of core/updates. In fact
that's how ATrpms distributes yum/smart/apt configuration
bits. core/updates/legacy (including disabled *-testing bits) are all
in a "base" config file.
