I think we should focus on better API for apps instead of forging
the default EAL config into the stone of a config file.

Anyway, we do not have enough time in 17.08 release cycle to properly
discuss this important topic.
I hope it opens the discussion in order to have a clear view of what
we could change and integrate in 17.11.
