	I'm not sure about the "most". I'm guessing you more often deal with 
common _system administration_ (mature) tools - which often are as you 
described - as opposed to just wild stuff for the desktop.

	Or it could be a distribution thing - they may be the ones who place a 
fully commented config file for common tools.

	Let's put it this way: For most of the config files that sit in my 
_home_ directory, they didn't come with a config file with all the 
options - although many do have a sample one in /etc that has _common_ 
options...
