With two systems the former bi packs were easier to compare (until 1.6). With new bi packs it is really hard to compare. Only pretty print can help out. Therefore: yes please do it!

I can supply a CLI based solution/idea for inserting/deleting rulepacks. The export should be easy to implement with the right imports.

I programmatically generate my rulepacks from a directory structure and textfiles and needed a way to import rulesets with 100-300 rules each.

$ ./deleteBI-v2.py
These rulepacks are installed:
['ruleset1', 'ruleset2']
usage: deleteBI-v2.py [-h] --id ID

$ ./insertBI-v2.py -i rulesettest.mk

Using rulesettest.mk as input-file...
Adding the following rules...:

Infrastructure
Hardware
Network
Storage
...

Essential imports are:
from cmk.gui.bi import BIManager
from cmk.utils.bi.bi_packs import BIAggregationPack, BIAggregationPacks

And the functions for loading/saving the config:
bi_packs = BIAggregationPacks(BIManager.bi_configuration_file())
bi_packs.load_config()
bi_packs.add_pack(BIAggregationPack({'id': 'Test', 'title': ...}))
bi_packs.save_config()

Auf Linux Ebene vermutlich gut möglich für diesen Use-Case:

~/etc/check_mk/multisite.d/wato/bi_config.bi
