Yes, I'd be much more interested in an effort to take all our existing
system-config-foo stuff, modularize it (it's all python right?), get it
all on a common playing field (--nox vs --tui vs --text vs whatever),
and then possibly a tool that can call all of them.  But mostly making
them all consistent would be a WONDERFUL task and much more effective us
of our time.
