If we can be a bit more long-term H4 changes here - I really like the  
idea of moving a lot of our config, both the current register,  
conf.xml, and prefs at least, to Horde_Policy (which does still need  
to be written).

If we did that, we could differentiate simple config chains (no  
caching, instant updates) vs. more complicated code chains (optionally  
cached).

It's not a quick fix, but if that makes sense to people let's work towards it.
