map pdftex.map map +localfonts.map How many do?
Well, I don't think that we should try to guess numbers of users of some features. Let's talk about use-cases and how they can be handled. One use-case of the config file is to have a copy of it in the local tree. One can set up additional map files there which also reside in the local tree. That way, one can easily replace/upgrade the whole TeX system (keeping the local tree in place, of course) without having any need to re-enable the additional map files. I am not afraid of changes, but I'd be not so happy to loose this functionality completely. Thomas
