I believe people using IntelMQ Manager for wiring the graph don't really need to care what kind of configuration format is used.
To clarify: The problem I see with some configuration formats are the out-of-band comments that would not be visible in IntelMQ Manager, so the Manager would be a second class. And if there is meaning in the comments, they cannot be semantically diffed.
Ah! Yeah, that makes sense. I guess the whole discussion is a actually a discussion of usability from two different view points: command line config file editing versus intelmq-manager.
If some form of YAML were used, would the manager be able to pull in the (there it is structured / syntactically well defined) comments from there and display them?
The out-of-band comments can be part of important use cases (like saving different configurations in Mercurial SCM or so). In order to suggest something I'd personally would need to explore and understand these use cases in more detail.
Best Regards, Bernhard
