Oh dear; I didn't mean to actually send that.... Oh well. I'll finish the thought:
The benefits of switching seem minimal, other than to "cleanup" an established -- albeit sometimes confusing -- system of config files.
There will be some pain for everyone to migrate old configs to ini style configs. Will there be an automatic upgrade capability, especially for those of us who build from source (rather than install from a system-supplied package)?
I am on the fence about such a change, since I rarely touch the config files, and when I do it's in conjunction with an update to netatalk itself, if at all.
Anyway, to be clear, I am neither opposed or in favor, but will not begrudge a decision to change. :-)
