 > Let's think about it.  We have 1 module with soon 4 descriptor sources
 and 2 modules with soon 2 descriptor sources.  How would you define config
 options to let operators activate each of the modules with any possible
 combination of descriptor sources?  And keep in mind that we might want to
 add a 5th or 3rd descriptor source in the future.

 Quick idea: how about we accept a list of descriptor sources for each
 module rather than have 4 or 2 separate boolean options?  Example:

 {{{
 RelaydescsSources ImportCached, ImportDirectory, Download, Sync
 BridgedescsSources SanitizeTarballs, Sync
 ExitlistSources Download, Sync
 }}}
