Good. As a sysadmin I _like_ sample configs (which I usually rename to
something else, and write my own, of course), as it gives a single
concise quick-reference to the syntax.

Lots of packages do this -- squid is the biggest one I can think of
right now (biggest in terms of config file size and power). Samba is
another example. There are a plethora of others, of course.

But, Peter's point does hold -- someone will have to maintain this.
