Yep, it's utterly dire. People bitch about X11 config files, but this is in many ways worse because it pretends to be XML. It'd be nice to submit a patch for Apache so it can read YAML, XML, and JSON based configuration. Or even just some sort of consistent fucking format, so we can generate configs for a bunch of servers with lxml or something. The other thing that fucks me off is that the server will reboot happily and fail to start without having first checked that it can start, and configtest doesn't pick up things like directories being missing.
