Have to add my +1 to the storage plugin idea.
We've looked at Preferences, Config Admin and User Admin ourselves a few
time as cleaner, and standardized replacements for our own more limited,
and hard coded options. What's always stopped us going further though is
the need for a flexible (i.e pluggable) set of storage options that can
allow our OSGi based apps to be tailored and config'd into quite a
diverse set of corporate environments.

I am in agreement with you Marcel, that it would be great if we could
have a separate Storage service or something that could be used as a
back-end for services requiring storage. I don't have any time to help
out, but I can surely give my $0.02 during the process! :-)

A while ago Enrique already announced directory backed Preferences
and ConfigAdmin implementations, and recently I discussed with him a
similar UserAdmin implementation.
These three services all have in common that they need some back-end
to actually persist data.
I hope that within Felix we can create implementations of these
services that have pluggable back-ends. We might even be able to
create some kind of common persistence service that can be used by
all of them.
Would others be interested in this (using it and/or helping develop it)?
I'm offering my help to get these implementations working. Enrique, I
know you have some R3 code in your ApacheDS sandbox, perhaps that
would be a nice starting point. Browsing through the archives I saw
that Michel also had a lightweight Preferences service.
Greetings, Marcel
