I'm interested by the (implicit) idea that (all?) settings modifiable
through the control panel should also be customizable. However, as I
pointed out not long ago, some care needs to be taken to restrict the
ability of the customization process to violate our security principles.

As a strawman, how about using a convention or technology similar to

  http://thedjbway.org/daemontools/envdir.html

to record the key-value settings that make up the bulk of the
'customizable' features?
