i agree with Paul.
of course, it's a pain that all configuration syntax is changed.
but for me, it looks far more consistent to describe the whole thing
with the same syntax.

well, you might consider the compatibility issue.  yes, that's another
big thing to discuss...


i believe, if we change the configuration syntax, it would be better
to branch the development tree (or jump the version number).
the current system works well already in many fields, so it's nice to
keep the stable series.
