Ok, but we need to decide: Is this going to be user-edited, or setup-edited? I.e., there is no point in allowing comments, if they get removed every time setup re-writes the file. Also, what do we do about multi-valued items - e.g. which mirrors are selected. (Or do we just continue with the legacy storage for last-mirror/last-cache/timestamp?)
