Please see bug 857545, comment #27. We believe we're overusing the Settings API for some settings, because it's a privileged API that is not exposed to web content. In the long-term, we should use it as little as possible. For example, the |time.timezone| setting is one of the use-case that we should allow non-privileged apps and normal web content to receive the same notification whenever the time zone or DST is changed. This is just meta bug to collect all the similar issues.
