Comment (by jelte):

 BTW, I think we should consider moving all .spec files out of their
 modules directory, and put them all together in one dir in the source tree
 (similar to how they end up when installed), cfgmgr could then load them
 all at once (we also need something like that for 'offline'
 configuration). This could then also be the place for specs that have no
 actual module associated with them. Perhaps the specfile itself could then
 specify whether there is a module they belong to, it has some loadable
 dynamic checking code, or no checking apart from syntax at all.

 Right now, modules can 'spy' on other module's configs with the 'remote
 config' set of functions; these are 'secretly' updated when configuration
 changes occur, and modules that listen to the configs of others don't
 react to them. (Due to the current implementation, they also get no
 module-level signal when it changes; they should access the config data
 directly, and not copy it for efficiency; the underlying config values are
 silently updated)
