Dominig, thanks for your comments! I think there is a slight misunderstanding -- I wasn't proposing IVI-specific changes. AIL is a library for accessing the application database, used in all Tizen profiles as far as I know. My proposition was extending the library in all profiles to support adding arbitrary key-values to application metadata. This mechanism could then used by anyone for any purpose, including adding the application metadata that ICO Homescreen is now having in private configuration files.
Buxton could be a good choice for (re-)implementing the internals of the application database. However, I think that would be an implementation detail only -- the current sqlite model could also be extended. I think we need to try to maintain the API stability because AIL/AUL is used all over and keep Buxton below the API surface. Dividing application configuration data to all the places it is now _and_ Buxton would just add a new component to the problem.
