I didn't explain them either because each one seemed to be being used at different places. They all feel like they need to be cleaned up. We are working on tests for the quickstarts, so once we have those in place I think it'd make sense to clean this all up. They grew organically over time and could benefit from a clean up initiative.
Do you think it would just be better to allow/show people how to mount their own config file and let them change it however they like?
