1.  Any option should be settable either in the config file or command 
line.  In other words, the user should not be forced to use a config 
file.  This is useful for management programs who keep all options in an 
internal database, and for users who can experiment via a ^P edit edit 
edit <enter>.

2. The %(blah)s syntax is a bit ugly.  It's one of the few things in 
python I dislike.  I'd prefer ${blah} and ${blah:modifier}.

3. It would be nice to be able to embed a config file in a qcow3 format 
so that one can ship an image with some default options in one file.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
