This is an interesting idea, we would also need to sync this with releases. We are also trying another approach with Phoenix 1.3, which is to customize how Ecto or Phoenix works on your application start, before starting the repo or endpoint in your app. The advantage of doing so in your code directly is that it makes it clear that it is a runtime configuration. However, it would allow you to customize only what you explicitly start.
