 - *(2)*: collaterally, we also solved it, because we can adapt for renames and other legacy config adaptations in ~make_config~

+- *(5)*: everything is mostly transparent to mypy. There are no runtime type checks yet, but I think possible to integrate with ~@dataclass~
 - *(6)*: the dataclass header is easily readable, and it's possible to generate the docs automatically
 
 Downsides:
-- the =make_config= bit is a little scary and manual, however, it can be extracted in a generic helper method
+- inheriting from ~user_config~ means early import of =my.config=
+
+  Generally it's better to keep everything as lazy as possible and defer loading to the first time the config is used.
+  This might be annoying at times, e.g. if you have a top-level import of you module, but no config.
+
+  But considering that in 99% of cases config is going to be on the disk
+  and it's possible to do something dynamic like =del sys.modules['my.bluemastro']= to reload the config, I think it's a minor issue.
+  # TODO demonstrate in a test?
+
+- =make_config= allows for some mypy false negatives in the user config
+
+  E.g. if you forgot =export_path= attribute, mypy would miss it. But you'd have a runtime failure, and the downstream code using config is still correctly type checked.
+
+  Perhaps it will be better when [[https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/5374][this]] is fixed.

 My conclusion is that I'm going with this approach for now.
 Note that at no stage in required any changes to the user configs, so if I missed something, it would be reversible.
