Some features won't be upstreamed. We need an efficient way to manage SUMO-specific prefs.

Plan A:
To create a dynamic admin panel from all SUMO-only settings. This would
be upstreamed. And any project could maintain custom prefs this way. This will be useful for other Mozilla projects. Something like tiki-admin.php?page=custom (maybe just a scan of all prefs that are in none of the admin panels?)

The UI can be very basic because it's just for experienced admins. Just a list of prefs and the control (like we have now in perspectives)

Plan B:
maintain a hard-coded tiki-admin.php?page=sumo
This would not be upstreamed

In both cases, profiles could be applied. Profiles are "just" a faster/easier
way to change settings and/or create/alter data.
