Hello Daemon,

It would be quite hard to make a difference between a commented option
and a real comment. Additionally the comment formating isn't consistent
in all configuration files.

Please use the bug tracker for wishlist items and bug reports in the
future. This helps to keep the volume of this list low and your issue
won't get lost in the large mail archive.

Cheers,

Sebastian
