Personally, it's nice to be able to frob things at runtime.  But if I'm
going to reboot, I really don't see all that much difference between
bashing on /etc/system or bashing on /sys/arch/foobox/conf/PICKLE; the
major difference is the time taken, which usually is not that much of a
factor.

Just think of C as the configuration language. :-)
