DB crash, hard drive crash, virtual host goes out of business, what's 
the difference?  Any way you look at it, the data's gone.  You should 
have backups of everything important to you. If you don't, that's your 
problem.  Sorry to be so blunt, but it feels like the wrong approach to 
be designing the app to compensate for a poorly adminstered database server.

With decent abstraction we could offer both config storage methods. 
(flat file or db table)   But for now, I'm leaning toward using the DB.
