Comment (by Dreimorgen):

 Replying to [comment:1 swissspidy]:
 > Seems like this would need a ton of work to maintain backwards
 compatibility with developers expecting the settings in the database, most
 probably some are even making direct SQL queries. Since there are pros of
 cons to either method (database vs. files), there's no ''need'' to change
 this in core right now.

 See https://github.com/danielbachhuber/dictator for example.

 thanks for the feedback! I'd assume it would be a problem because it's
 pretty complex. It was more of an idea anyways. I have never heard of
 Dictator before, it seems to be doing what i want, thanks for that, i will
 check it out! ~ff

 (should this ticket be closed?)
