Isn't that just a bit rigid?  I know with Horde/IMP/Turba/Kronolith on
my setup, I do a bit of modifications on the fly, as needed, all the
time.

Making things inside of those presets could cause some difficulty to
some administrators.

However, I do see what you mean for ease of setup.  Actually I think an
optional semi-GUI setup might be best, ie: "Type in the name of your
IMAP server:", "Type in the name of your SQL server:", etc etc, rather
than doodling around in config files.  I consider that a B or C Wishlist
item, however, compared to other things.
