You don't provide any motivation as to why this is better. As far as I
am concerned it'll just be a mess.

So:

Nack. So much nack. I really don't want to see a proliferation of
config fragments like this.

I had a feeling it was a bad idea to pick up that one line config
fragment before, since it opened the door for this kind of mess. :(
