The similar appearance is what counts. The back-end isn't important:
wasn't gconf designed to be flexible enough to use ldap, or text files, or

Where are those other implementations, then?

Currently gconf requires a per-user daemon to work. And it uses an XML back-end, which can easily get corrupted.
