It seems like the best place for "project settings"(a) would be applicable is through some ./manage.py command, perhaps "installapps" or something along those lines. This would probably be the place to do database modifications between versions. (b) could be served by a "readonly" flag in the settings (if you were using appsettings) and (c) is provided by appsettings out of the box. So it looks like the thing that needs work/thought/design decisions would be (a). Could you give an example use case of that sort of "project installation setting"?
