One of the evil details that shows up in this part, at least for
more generalized system administration, is that what is and is not
minute detail changes from day to day.
As I said on lssconf at one point:
Today, me having to explictly model every chunk of my syslog.conf
would be massive overspecification. Tommorow, I have to explictly
