Issue Summary

system_settings deployment is very useful. But I think it has one major drawback now - not all Drupal forms that are related to website configuration have 'system_settings_form' in '#theme'. Good examples: modules page, permissions page.
I think it would be great to have an easy way to deploy any form submit (or at least a prepared subset of forms, based on form id?), it will be a killer of Macro module.
It would be great to hear any ideas and thoughts regarding this issue.

I have thought about this a great deal and unfortunately there are no easy solutions. This is especially true when any module can form_alter() any form, which causes enormous problems. I definitely plan to implement this if I find a solution though.

#2

Do you mean that if some module is enabled on source website, but is disabled on destination website, and this module has form_alter hooks, the form can't be submitted correctly?
