I believe MapScript impacts was the first comment I had made on this 
months ago (and it is mentioned in the RFC draft also).

For example: PHP SWIG MapScript requires a path to a .php file that 
contains all MapServer constants & functions (that is installed as part 
of the cmake steps).  For wishlist I'd like to see this new config file 
allow to set the path to MapScript's required .php file.
