Hi Katrin,
I agree. If(..) we should move the unused columns, we should leave what we do
use in systempreferences. So no completely separate table for local use prefs.
Maybe a joined table for options and explanation to remove redundancy?
But then we still face this problem: You have local use pref A. Then it becomes
a real pref so now its description comes from yaml. But we still have an old
description in the joined table..

This is only a fictive problem. If you would delete a regular pref (remove it
from the preferences file), but somehow not delete if from the table (the dbrev
did not work out?). In this case you got a local use pref falling back to the
old columns.
