gosh yes... but a few things come to mind...

1 - comments in the default config(s) are presently quite good and would
want to see that they are preserved.

2 - a utility such as samba's 'testparm' which allows you to output a
configuration with all default (ie testparm -v), all uncommented
directives (ie, normal testparm). This could either be a separate script
or binary file or could be a built-in command like puppet as in 'puppet
--genconfig'
