XML isn't the best perhaps. But it's not a road-block either. New config files are always new. And who cares what it's implemented in as long as it doesn't fall over? I mean, ideally sure. C FTW on resource utilization, but honestly, if the choice is between something that's a bit of a pig, eating up 100MB of RAM vs what...? Really simply put: There is no competition that checks the same boxes that I'm aware of. I'd be genuinely grateful if you can show me an alternative, especially for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, but most of the alternatives are new early-phase projects with grand goals that may never materialize, or unmaintained. So sure, SMF isn't perfect. What's better?
