Description John Arthorne CLA 2013-03-19 11:50:09 EDT 
We have some SCR components that are accessing preferences very early in server startup. It is possible that this code runs *before* the extension registry service is available. When this happens, preference initializer code does not run because these are supplied via extension point. To workaround this we should avoid accessing preferences in static initializers and let them get loaded lazily.
