Personally, I do not mind implementing any of the structures.
In my opinion, upgrading should not really be a problem. I will be writing a little tool to auto upgrade the table. And I don't think we will be adding new settings to be tracked every so often, so it will just be a regular upgrade.
Sure, there are several settings in the configuration file that may complicate the table structure.
Thanks!

Zeeshan is proposing a new table to store user preferences: http://zixan.info/2009/06/04/gsoc-week-two-progress/#comments
Michal answers in the blog that this does not scale. When looking at Zeeshan's proposal, I had the same idea for a moment. However, after some researches, I am tempted to reject Michal's proposal.
I know it's not perfect solution. But when I look at our configuration file, we have far too many options, to represent them as columns in table. Furthermore adding new option would mean to force users to upgrade the table.
