Why do you need global storage?

How much settings for any application have so it need to resort to sql instead
of customize?

I see sqlite in core as opportunity to easier work with data produced by other
applications, or to create applications that read in larger sets of data to work
with.

But what you suggest means that now there will be two parallel systems for
storing settings. Are you planing on using sqlite as a backend for customize, or
to remove customize?
