Oh my goodness! A conf user! I thought those all disappeared with the grea... err waitasec alright this isn't return to zork :> I had conf removed from potato because there was no evidence of anyone using it. No bugs had ever been filed against it (I *know* there's bugs in conf), and no dependancies were ever thrust upon it. That combined with the existance of something better (apt-config), as well as the namespace-pollution factor and general dislike of windows .ini-style files led me to conclude that this was not something anyone would be using, nor anything I would want users to be stuck using on behalf of some utility for all time immortal, something a few hundred times more probable if conf were to ever make it into a stable release.
