As a system administrator I want 2 things from config files:

* loading a directory of config files, so various Configuration Management tools have easier time deploying config (especially for multi-use apps like say syslog daemon, where multiple disparate apps might want to put a part of the config in)

* a function to dry-run config validation, so CM can alert about that instead of restarting an app to a wrong config

Finding where is one has never been a problem.




Seconding dry-run, while looking intently aws-cli for haveing the worst possible dry-run option imaginable.
