This is something which I actually agree with. When I asked for a single, central database I was actually more restrictive than I intended. What I had (and have) in mind is that all relevant pieces of information for a specific board (i. e. one "entry" in the database) should be in a single location. Whether this is a single central file or a single board specific file (like a defconfig) is not really relevant to me.
