Folks,

I'm not fully up to date about the intelmq configuration scheme, so I
might be way off with this message.

Aren't we running into the same issue as with the BOTS file? If
installing a new bot requires manual configuration in a shared
config-file then adding/removing bots cannot be easily done.

Here, too, I see a point in using a etc/defaults|runtime.d/* directory
with small config files.
