Whew, what a proposal and what a good sign!
As several have noted, there are quite a few proposals in the fishbowl that deal with different aspects of the problems. There's also a draft proposal that we had here in ZC that expands on the items. Finally, there appear to be a few pieces of software (yours, zctl, zopectl, etc.) that try to address aspects.
I suggest that we all spend some time trying to revisit all the proposals, obsolete the ones that are covered elsewhere, and try to find the common ground. There is a dorman zope-packagers mailing list we could hijack for these purposes:

I think, with all the various efforts, it is time to agree on some standards regarding where configuration data lives and how it looks.
OK, I've joined that list. I did not realise the worm can was this big :) Richard
