I would argue it facilitates it. There's nothing worse than systems that lock the config up in a database and end up unusable when the database goes belly up. Syncing files is trivial and automatable, and with V3 you can just turn off the polling and force aligned config reloads.

I believe there was a contributor from Fischer? asking about building a Spring Resource for JDBC. I think he managed to get something built, don't know if he was planning to contribute it back.
