I was going to post and suggest that this is the logical solution, but not
being a developer I hesitated. Nonetheless, from a system administrator's
point of view, minimizing functional redundancy (unless the components are
"basic building blocks") is a Good Thing, and makes the configuration
process simpler and faster, which is also a Good Thing for busy sysadmins.
IMHO, designing in accord with the KISS principle is seldom an evolutionary
step backwards.
