Thanks, well prepared, took a bit of time to read it, here are my thoughts:

Monitoring /etc seems a very good idea. It is not limited to a local copy, you 
can keep several servers' configuration in a central repository for example.

I didn't understand the "adding inotify module to kernel" part, if you are 
talking about inotify support, that is already included in all Pardus kernels 
as it is very useful and used in many places. If you talking about our /etc 
monitor application, that is bad design to put something belongs to userspace 
to the kernel.

Config API is hard to evaluate. Hopefully it can be implemented as a python 
module in separate package, and can be used in some packages to test.

Provide part is not necessary. You can already create a class in Comar model, 
and configure the application with a separate script providing such class. 
For user settings, it is best to not mix package-manager in and use a custom 
settings application.
