Some large applications have switched towards putting user prefs "on the cloud" for UX purposes. It makes sense to make such a system for Blender. However I believe Blender cultivates the hack spirit, and trying to put user information remotely would be seen as a strong privacy violation, especially in these days.
Personally I'm using ownCloud to do this, I'm even thinking about versioning it with git.
