yes, i know that way. As we are coders we also have the opportunity to debug 
values and change them. but there are a lot of Admins / BE-User, they don't 
have this ability. And they don't know which setting is in which 
table/field, so they are often lost if they want to configure special 
things, they google and try even wrong postings etc. So this should be a 
bridge interface.
Experts still know how to deal, but it's helpful too to click a config form 
and quick change some values.
