_What is augeas?_

From: http://augeas.net/

Augeas is a configuration editing tool. It parses configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native config files.
...
_Why should I switch my tool to use augeas?_

* not to reinvent the wheel
* one source to rule them all

* expect it to be included by default in f10+ {and el6+} ?

will be in rawhide soon and thus in F10

* expect it to become one of the mock build root packages ?

why should it be? BuildRequires ftw


Why not ?
- is it a large library ?

$ ls -lh /usr/lib64/libaugeas.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 110K 2008-05-05 14:47 /usr/lib64/libaugeas.so.0.0.0

- is it fast and efficient ?

efficient in reusability and stability
fast? where do you need speed? ok, maybe with you 500k /etc/hosts file :)

- does it work on many arches ?

all arches we support.

- when will it be considered production ready ?

well, as of now, it is pretty stable.
