Yes, I want the configuration files to be worse (readable).
The idea is to difficult as-much-as-possible config-files theft from ohter
people who admin that server..

There have been times that configuration files were implemented on different
installations (different sites) with minor changes without the admin's
consent..

I don't want nobody to get credits for work I've done and receive no profit
at all..

That's my need for obfuscation. My idea is to keep an original
readable-configuration in a safe place and set the obfuscated config-file in
production.
