Your statement doesn't really surprise me. Apparently you kind of
celebrate misunderstanding my point, which isn't primarily about the
file format, but about config param accessibility via api/SQL.
I personally wouldn't even think about starting such a wizard, unless I
have an idea how to push the result into the database. No, not a file,
but via SQL! So your statement you won't react unless a wizard is almost
ready is prohibitive, apart from the fact that not only wizards
(featuring AI) are interesting, but simple config tools as well.
