This is tending off-topic, but I'll note that this is in a class of
server-side configuration that would not (in fact, *should not* in my
opinion) be aided by the work that Paul is doing right now. Configuration
via inherited props is well suited for propagating behavioral preferences
that are more closely tied to the versioned data itself (ignores,
auto-props, etc.) than to general client behavior, where I've argued it
would be inappropriate.
To date, we have yet as a community to figure out a good way to implement a
more general server-side config feature. :-(
