No, it's not necessary.

that mariadb can be started with your my.cnf file :)

At the moment, we don't test the default my.cnf in our test suite,
and I don't want to require you to change that (but you'd like you -
you're welcome, I can explain how). So, just test manually that your
config is correct.

right.

question.

should a default my.cnf work with all mariadb configurations?
I mean, builds without innodb/xtradb for example.
Which boils down to - should you prefix all innodb options with "loose"?
It'll make my.cnf more universally useful, but slightly more confusing too.
