True. And you've already got the parser for hierarchical configs as well 
as an SQL and logging infrastructure.

It's not something I'd use but I can imagine it being very very useful 
in smaller and/or simpler deployments (which is not to say trivial).

Then again, given the (ahem) variable level of questions asked here, do 
you want to double the pain with DHCP-related mailing list posts?

"My WangRouter 1000 doesn't add the correct foobar attribute and thus 
can't possibly do DHCP. How do I make it do DHCP?"
