In US5, we might end up swinging the other way on being overzealous in the DB managed settings, but I think I would prefer having it there rather than config stuff scattered through the file. I suppose one view I have is if it can be set once and forgotten, such as during initial setup, that is good. If it will change over time, then I feel like the DB approach keeps everything in one spot.
Media Wiki is a case where a lot of the config is done in the file, and I hated trying to set it up because you need to self validate things, and if it isn't right, you need to guess what is wrong.
That said, point taken. This is where more collaboration and feedback would be helpful to determine what makes sense and what doesn't. And for that, I think I've heard you loud and clear, so I'll "git" right on trying to use Github as a habit. I'll try to upload the first one right now (though I'm not sure how to handle the DB side of things...I guess that only needs to be uploaded when something changes...)
