Why do we need this?

• To hide some configuration from Network Admins (such as Mail configuration, Cache configuration, etc.)
• To remove the concern of where to write configurations in scalable systems.
• To be able to change configurations in scalable systems.
• To easily ship the phpFox applications to container-based environments such as Docker.
• To simplify some installation steps for non-tech users.
