Very much so. This is something Dan and I talked about at DevConf,
actually. One of the things we'd probably want to do in each of the
various Products is break out our default configurations into a
subpackage that be pulled in by the respective Product release package
as a way to install differing defaults. NetworkManager was the
poster-child for this idea, though I expect there are plenty of other
services that could benefit from this as well.
