But that's *really* not the point.

Having configuration fragments applied and managed is more than a brute force
concatenation of the contents, letting lkc do what it wants to them,
without reporting
and control is what

There's something in place, that already does this and more, which has
the ability
to scale to more complex cases.

What I'm trying to understand is what exactly is different in Diego's
setup, since
the exact cases reported here work fine for me, Andrea and any number of other
people. Something strange is going on.

We need to be patient and work through this, so if there's a bug in the already
available infrastructure, we can flush it out :)
