Hello, I have a few questions:

1) dynamic platform files

Currently all RHEL/fedora-derived platforms work with the same 
rhel/fedora packages. How do you want to achieve this with dynamic 
platform files, do you want to keep mappings between platforms and 
platform file? What about distributions that have in /etc/release just mess?

2) if I understand correctly, you want to separate client installer code 
and client CLI code. In past we had freeipa-admintools but it was 
removed because it was really tightly bounded to installed client. Do 
you want to revive it and make it independent?

3) why instead of environ variable we cannot have specified paths with 
priority where IPA config can be located?
For example:
1) ./.ipa.conf
2) ~/.ipa.conf
3) /etc/ipa/default.conf  <-- as last resort
