feature: equivalent to "configless" Slurm
Had a question from someone about whether Flux supports something like "configless" Slurm? (Rather than admins having to copy files to all the nodes and ensure consistency across the instance.)
I can't seem to find anything to that effect, but just wanted to double-check here in case I've missed something, and leave it as a non-urgent feature request if not!
No, for a pure system instance there is currently no way to start brokers without local configuration. However, this is probably doable long term, and there has been some similar requests (for example, as in #6865). Keep in mind that other Flux framework projects may still need local configuration because they are not distributed components (e.g. flux-security).
