I like approaches that keep the sysadmin out of the lower-reaches
of the engine room, and don't require complex editors or a GUI toolset.
As with fstab, this could be a clean way to provide a terse, clean interface
in a predictable place.
One easily edited via ssh, or explained in a fax or such when
'remote hands' are involved, as the site-techs are usually rather
junior and Win or Lin 'spurts - not *BSD anyway.
