The whole stuff makes only sense with ini style files.

Hi thorsten, I am a bit lost here. Do you mean with this statement that libeconf makes sense only with ini files? Or that whole /usr/etc is intended for ini files? Or that merging makes sense only for ini files?

The merging of several snippets to one file makes only sense for some formats, most likely ini files. It's pretty hard for some other files like yaml or json. So while the /usr/etc move makes sense for all configuration files, the best solution for every single file really depends on the format of the configuration file, there is no "this library will solve all use cases".
