I'd rather have some config reserialization capability with provenance (perhaps as an opt-in). A good config reserialization can make itself useful in so many situations, if it has the right features. Like pointing out key-value pairs that don't have any effect, or simply writing out some documentation. Logging has its merits, like discoverability when you stare at it without suspecting configuration to be the culprit, but I believe that there can and should be more.
