That's one of my issues with most Linux distros.

1. They add huge configuration files where 99% are commented out.

2. Sometimes they invent whole new systems of configuration management. For example debian with apache httpd does that.

I don't need all of that. I just need simple 5-line configuration file.

My wish: ship absolutely minimal (yet secure) configuration. Do not comment out anything. Ask user to read manuals instead. Ship your configuration management systems as a separate packages for those who need it. Keep it simple by default.
