[snip]However constructive your alternate proposals are, I suspect people are misreading your title (and it is easy to assume, just from the OP title, that you actually want to get 'get rid of' DConf, rather than just 'modify' and 'improve' DConf.
Personally I feel there is a cognitive dissonance between your title and what you actually wrote. Maybe, since the people who so far responded seem really vested in the benefits of DConf.. there might be a bit of knee jerking going on here.
