 That is interesting however I am concerned that it will be unexpected for
 users since to my knowledge no other ports do that kind of thing. Editing
 configuration file and starting, stopping or restarting servers have
 always been activities that users are expected to do on their own. Ports
 can of course advise users what they should do, via a `notes` command.
