I would like to raise a question that could be of interest regarding
config files. It only must be considered as a discussion point and I
am aware of the problems that can convey.

Form my point of view, in some cases it could be necessary/interesting
to keep configuration information confidential and to provide the
means to check the integrity of a configuration file.

Should the config file handling requirements make provisions for this
circumstances?
