I agree, we need to give this a thougt.
Can you briefly sketch the current setup in case I got it wrong, please?

From my understanding it is this way:

All Bots (should) inherit from lib/bots.py which:

1) Load DEFAULT Configuration via intelmq/__init__.py
   from etc/defaults.conf
2) Load RUNTIME Configuration via intelmq/__init__.py
   from etc/runtime.conf


When installing intelmq, a "default" configuration could be placed in 
/etc/intelmq/defaults.conf

whilst all configuration which will be altered by the manager should be stored 
in a directory like
/var/lib/intelmq


Questions:
What does startup.conf do?
It's loaded in intelmqctl.py #224 

I see it is loaded a second time in intelmqctl.py #241 ff
But I don't get the point of it.
