I don't see the advantage of this scheme. Please explain why it is favorable to have 2 configuration trees. If you wan't to have 2 trees, a better and easier approach is to have (standard Unix-way) a $HOME/.config/... and a /etc/config/... tree. But the question is, whether you want to use the configuration database for all and everything (-> each user wants his/her own copy) or just for system-related entries (one global /etc/config is enough).
