Hi Katrin

Sorry for not replying sooner. 

The purpose of display_choices is a way of displaying option values in the
feature Release Change Tool.

I cannot use the YAML files because they are organised by their functionality,
e.g. there is a admin.pref for all administration related system preferences. 

I want to retrieve and display the system preferences by the version they were
added in and so it would require a very complex regular expression to go
through each of the YAML files to find the system preference with a matching
name.

Whereas by having the display_choices values in the database in records
containing the version number I can both retrieve the system preference
information and display information in one go. 

So that was my rationale for the display_choices.

I hope that makes sense :)
