Sure, more cleanups, excellent, please go ahead. I think you're missing
the original point raised by the thread starter which is about me having
simplified/removed too much. So sure, there's probably more that still
can be simplified and clarified, while at the same time I might have
removed too much.
Again, feel free to enhance.

Sure. I guess the last config fragment on the page is supposed to do
just that. Maybe split it into a seperate section and enhance it.
