If the strongest argument is to not disturb the (small number of individuals)
who already have some value in their .config file...
- I was thinking we should supply something more than a single plugin to all of
the people who would newly try GNUmed but who risk to wrongly dismiss it out of
annoyance. I am talking about people who may download it from tarball or source
and who might like to get a sense of it without having all the pain of all of
the configuration.
- besides, production instances will have surely made other alterations to
their config and so there is no hope that users can simply let new-version
.config files (as future-shipped with GNUmed) to simply overwrite what they
already had in
~/Users/someuser/.gnumed
can they? Any such overwriting would require these user files to have been
already backed up, and partially restored-from, anyway, no?
I do recall a situation where corruption of some kind (in a db record?) made it
impossible for GNUmed to start, and that spawned discussion of having a minimal
failover "pseudo" workplace so that if the workplace specified in a user's
.conf became corrupted in the db, the workplace could be commented-out and
GNUmed in *absence* of a workplace would use its pseudo-workplace.
This did not mean we could not ship a default workplace specification in the
source and tarball .conf files.

"Grasshopper" was the name assigned by buddhist monks to the fictional
character Kwai Chang Caine (played by David Carradine) in the 1972-75 American
television series "Kung Fu".
