# File should: have no [section] header, use "# " comments, var="val" (no spaces around =),
# no dash in var-names, for good compatibility between python and bash.

# default if fail to read/parse the etc file is STAGING. These values:

# DO NOT survive (no try:) failed imports (non-existent file, bad syntax, etc.).
