Maybe I didn't explain myself properly.
I was referring only to the horde/config/registry.php
That file has several sections, 3 I believe, which need to be enabled in order for an application to 
work. What I was suggesting was to have all the settings for each app in registry.php in one block of 
code, per application, and have the block guarded by an if statement. This way new users, me included, 
would find it easy to configure horde for new apps. This doesn't change the apps setup at all. It also 
doesn't prevent the user from doing any changes they please.

This suggestion will not take away anything that currently exists. All it is, is a change of 
organization within registry.php.

Does this new explanation helps?
