Yes, I've thought about this a bit in the past.  Chuck and I talked
about this briefly at the PHP Conference, and it seems like the
current XML-based configuration system handles most of these
requirements already.

I don't think it would be all that smart to handle data-based
upgrades, however, because there are just too many support backends
and implementations to ensure data integrity.
