I'm happy to have it criticized. Please do so. Though I bet I can do a
better job than you. You guys don't understand the design space if you
think bonobo-config and GConf are even significantly
different. Dietmar pretty much copied the GConf design exactly.  Look
at ACAP or LDAP or the Registry if you want to get an idea how
differently it could have been done.

I'm still waiting to be shown the "stack of databases" code claimed to
exist in bonobo-config so I can criticize in turn, I hope you'll show
me where that is.

I hope you'll highlight which of your criticisms require a
reimplementation rather than a wrapper interface to solve them.
