[erlang-questions] is sys.config mostly a convention?

[Xavier Noria]

Thanks Peti!

That adds confirmation to the mental model I am building.

All squares, I think:

* OTP as such does not assume anything, despite what the config docs say.
* Release or not, embedded or interactive, the interface is just -config.
* Each one of the release tools is responsible for the -configs they
generate.
* Build tools may support a default that can be overridden, up to them and
for them to document.
* By convention, sys.config is a common default choice you'll normally find.
* Files called "sys.config" may include other config files.
