Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2012-09-10 16:56:39 EDT 
Discussed some upcoming framework changes with Simon:

- The support in EventTarget which allows listeners to inject Deferreds into a dispatchEvent() cycle, is going to be removed. 
- Retrieval of Preferences nodes is going to be synchronous (after bootstrapping is finished, at least).

The Config Admin needs to be refactored accordingly, namely:

- The API methods getConfiguration() and listConfigurations() will be synchronous.
- The Config Store will maintain a single Preferences node of configuration data, as splitting the data into different nodes is not a concern.
- The Config Store will load all the config data during initialization. After that configurations will be managed synchronously. This will make the implementation a lot simpler.
