That's not how I read this requirement. My understanding was that Cloudant wanted the ability to turn off features at build configuration time. It would affect which js files get pushed. That means it would either effect which files grunt.js processes, or it would affect what files get listed in some couchapp manifest. If runtime configuration is necessary, that should be articulated more clearly as a requirement, but I worry that this starts to balloon into more of a CMS agree with Alexander that it starts to look like we've gone too far.
