Interesting, I would have never thought of config as 'default'. In fact,
I would have thought that this de facto behavior (which you also
clarified in [1]) is a bug if not for the fact that in an internal
version of this series, you cited a commit message that describes this
as expected behavior. That context would be very welcome in the ML, I
think.

Makse sense. This seems like a good change.

As mentioned earlier, I find it a bit odd that we're calling config
'default' (and also that we're calling CLI args config), but
renaming default_conf_info to config_conf_info sounds worse, so let's
leave it as-is.
