No, he isn't (or at least I am not) -- the world where we are 
coming from is not that bright either. The only difference 
between now and (near) future is that now still people google for 
the small lines of text to put into /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make 
work their particular piece of turd. In the future hopefully all 
these tidbits of information could be collected, packaged, and 
served with the Xorg so that people wouldn't have to apply it 
themselves (or even know, that some hints are used).

See for example for what goes to /usr/share/hal* on 
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ -- I would love 
to see some database of quirks which would make Xorg work without 
anybody even noticing.

I don't want to comment on the NetworkManager -- works pretty 
decently for me (certainly much better than whatever else I used 
in the past) -- but I want to emphasize a small fact that 
/etc/hal/fdi/ is and /etc subdirectory, so you (or anybody else) 
can have their specific configuration there.

Also if you have such problems to write a line of code to XML 
file, then probably you shouldn't try.

Best,

Matěj
