Considering D8 is introducing a new Configuration management system, will you discuss how that affects using Aegir for this dev-stage-prod workflow?

The Configuration management initiative is a giant leap toward the goal of having all configuration in code, not on disk. This blog post introduces the concepts involved. This system will tie in perfectly with the tools we will discuss, namely Aegir and git, so I'll be glad to present it during the talk. Thanks for bringing this up!
