I'm not too sure this level of abstraction is needed by userspace. It would be enough if the appropriate things were all controlable in /proc/sys/ etc. and then you just have: /etc/sysctl.{laptop,server,desktop}.conf It would be better to have it explicit in userspace as you're always going to need to tweak things IMHO.
