Datastore connections need to be separated out - I wouldnt think that
these are rest-config issues - they are deploy time settings - so the
adminstrator with the rights to establish the service is in control of
what it connects to.

Having to bundle db configs in shared (version controlled)
configurations is always a major pain with trying to establish
distributed geoserver networks.

NB connecting to static files might be more relaxed  - but there might
be issues with allowing cascading too.
