The ability to store encrypted data in the configuration
service would help to provide some level of indirection
and make it a little safer to store things like database
passwords and whatnot in config.

Though any encryption would not provide much real
security as the decryption method would have to be
available in the code. It is more of a means of adding
difficulty and obfuscation to the exercise of determing
the secured data.
