I would hate to see the feature table expand by several hundred 
entries that most people would not use. The should be grouped. Anyone 
who can change the site_url should have equal access to every other 
path related configuration. There's no reason to separate it. 
Likewise, anyone who could change the site_name, should have equal 
access to many other settings. The existing features (like 
polls.admin) are sufficient for adding permissions to the 
configuration system. In the end if you need to add more than a 
handful of features to the system, you've gotten too fine grained.
