Hi, FYI- we're forming a group to look at what the next generation of config(8) should look like, with the goal of addressing some long-standing issues with the existing kernel configuration system. If you're interested in participating in the ongoing design discussion, please shoot an e-mail to kevans@FreeBSD.org or imp@FreeBSD.org. The current high-level requirement outline can be found here: https://hackmd.io/w1Tf8mmVQVuZok7-LNEhgw The current expectation is that configng will use an entirely different configuration language, rather than extending what we currently have, and come with some tooling to aide migration. This will be discussed more in-depth in later stages; for now, we want to focus on what we want to get out of the next generation. Thanks, Kyle Evans
