There is a ton of options, all way better than hardcoding any such
settings into the common default environment - "env import" allows to
easily import variable settings in a number of formats (including
plain text), so you can just dedicate some storage speace, either on a
raw device (like an address / offset range in NOR / NAND flash, or
some sectors on a block device, or a file in a file system, or
whatever.

We never should extend the default environment into such a pile of
stuff.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
