I think there is some disagreement that using text files needs to be
the "primary" way to edit configurations. Some people are of the opinion
that we should focus on text files as a secondary method, generally to be
used only when a more sql/gui oriented way wont work (ie. your shared buffer
restart scenario). I think most of the user base would like to approach
administration from that point-of-view, and as of yet I haven't seen a
technical reason why that world view is wrong, only philosphical ones.
