 I actually wondered whether that might be the intent, and in that case
 I have no objection to the idea.  I was simply not sure from the
 current code.

 Other changes generally look okay, with a few minor points:

 - As for --data-path in bind10.xml, so you mean by "BIND" various BIND
   10 programs in general (although currently b10-cfgmr is the user)?
   If so, I'm okay with the concept as I said above, but I'd clarify
   that more clearly: "The path where BIND 10 programs looks for
   various data files such configuration files, communication pipes, or
   log files.  Currently, only b10-cfgmr uses the path to find its
   configuration file, but the usage might be extended for other
   programs and for other types of files in future".
 - in b10-cfgmgr.py.in, maybe "config_file" is better than "file_name"
   to store the -c/--config-filename option value to indicate what file
   it is.
 - in lib/.../cfgmgr.py, there are still some "b10-config.db"s hardcoded.
 - at the risk of being redundant, I'd clarify the relationship between
   config-filename and data-path in b10-cfgmgr.xml, too.
