NO, having configuration files is fine, as long they are parsed or generated directly by the program itself.
I find that a centralized sysconfig directory, with files following the same syntax, and serving as metaconfig for the actual config files is a fine SUSE addition. It is perfect.
I prefer this than having to learn how each program does its own config.

/etc/sysconfig is usually just a bunch of environment variables. I think there _is_ a place for /etc/sysconfig, but it's certainly not for normalizing configuration files and parameters.
But I suspect that Cristian is talking about something else; he seems to have dodged and twisted - or maybe its a language thing. But no, I can't see Postfix generating alias files or master.cf filter configurations.
postfix is actually one of those where none of the config is in sysconfig. It is in /etc/postfix/, only to be parsed by postfix. The only thing you typically pass on the command line is the config-dir.
Do we still ha a limit on how many characters can be on a command line?
