class Configurable
class ConfigurableDict(UserDict.UserDict, Configurable)
class ConfigurableSequence(UserList.UserList, Configurable)
Rather than adding a whole new interface (configAddItem etc) why not just use
the built-in list/dictionary interfaces for the two kinds of collection you
have?

I don't really understand why this is relevant; why would you need IDs for
servers? Aren't they just added in some order (a list)?

I'm still not 100% comfortable with that implementation, but I suppose it can
be refactored later.
