(3) would be my recommended approach.
We should not let perfect be the enemy of good. We would LIKE to have a
mediated gsettings, but we MUST unblock gsettings apps. Therefor, for
series 16, we can have a general "gsettings" interface which is not
mediated. We can add mediation and a more refined interface during
series 16, and deprecate the general interface for series 18.
Make sense?
