Right.  The “Defining Services” shows how to create service definitions
that potentially populate the store with the relevant configuration
files.

So it’s a different approach from what you may be used to: users do not
/modify/ config files; instead, they formally declare the /system state/
that they want, and /instantiate/ that configuration.

Thanks,
