My opinion is that having configuration in a database is a bad idea.

We are currently considering moving to a system where CKAN is installable using apt-get. Since we're already moving functionality into CKAN extensions, choosing what you want kind of CKAN you would like would then be as simple as chosing the package to install. Configuring it would just be editing the config file.

I don't think this is as relevant as it was 10 months ago. Anyone mind if I change this to wontfix?

I think this is useful but there may be complexities giving the non-reloading nature of python apps. Have also converted to an extension

I think generally this is a bad idea. I think in a few controlled circumstances some configuration is worth changing at runtime, however looking through the development.ini file I do not see hardly anything in there that does not require a restart anyway. It would be good to have some clear examples of things that would be in the extension.
