+# components concept
+
+- components are kinda opinionated.
+- should be project agnostic (e.g.: configure bugwarrior via options but leave specifics out).
+- `component.<toplevel>.enabled` should usually be the default for all it subcomponents (`comonent.<topleve>.<subcomponent>.enabled`).
+  - But default should make sense here!
