Right.  The =E2=80=9CDefining Services=E2=80=9D shows how to create service=
 definitions
that potentially populate the store with the relevant configuration
files.

So it=E2=80=99s 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,
