WHEN there are multiple, contradictory, config-files,

THEN every single 1 of those bastards ought be explicitly-identified, in the 1st-line-comment, in ALL of them, so that all configurators of any of them know there may be overrides.

Externalize the damn memorization!


There is plenty of research identifying that parallel-IFs, and equivalent parallel/contradictory config/logic structures, are BIG bug-sources.

Ask any sysadmin who has fought config in Linux distros, due to this antipattern.

Make all the locations be named, in every such config, every fscking time!

"Spanish Inquisition" surprises can go eat rocks.
