This is a classic example of the argument for ASCII configuration
files. Sure, a binary configuration representation might mean
(slightly) faster launch times, but IMO it's a completely fair
trade-off since ASCII files allow great out-of-band control and they
can be easily stored in a VCS, copied to new home directories, shared
on mailing lists, etc.
