In terms of functionality - yes.
It is certainly possible to create entries that can be amended later.
What's missing is the ease of doing this.
Setting up an entry (in whatever table) via a config token is
typically much simpler than via SET requests.
So if we could come up with a sensible approach that supported
writeable config entries (in a safe way), that would be A Good Thing.

I'm very solidly against modifying static config files in place!
The two options that I was thinking of were:
a) Support for configuring such entries via the persistent
config file. (c.f. current use of 'createUser')
b) Some mechanism for explicitly marking static config
entries as "overidable" (and hence saved to the
persistent config file - which would then take precedence
over the static entry)
But I don't think that this is something which should be put into
the 5.6 line at this late stage.
