IMO this should all be in the database and that's it. The idea that our

That doesn't work, because many settings must be loaded before the
database is fully operational.
Not to mention what would happen if the database had a problem so we
couldn't read the config.
Knowing when not to use a database is as important as knowing when to
use one.
