this is the currently fashionable answer, but I haven't seen any
justification for it. Unfortunately, the 12factors manifesto tells
the how, but very little of the why.

In my experience, environment variables are clumsy, fragile and a pain
to work with.

I guess a more balanced option would be to store somewhere else,
probably the database (although i'm not too opposed to VCS) with the
host-variable parts (or everything, who cares about a couple KB extra
storage?) as a set indexed by hostname, which is read from the
environment.
