Well not quite. It's getting better with $Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} for
example.  I don't have to copy the whole $Conf{RsyncArgs} stanza into
my pc/hostname.pl file.

If I want to append to or remove a particular entry from
$Conf{RsyncShareName} in config.pl, I have to manually copy the
current definition into pc/hostname.pl because I can't directly affect
that definition. If I add a new entry to the config.pl copy, it
doesn't propagate to the other hosts.

Now that being said, I generate the config files as part of the CM
system used to manage my systems. It would certainly be possible to
eliminate the redundancy to a large extent by using filepp, make etc.
