Because it's not user data, it's server data.
So? It's there - use it.
That's entirely the wrong place to
store something like which database API is installed.
Not really. You could even wrap a function called (for example)
Feature() around it.
Yeah, really. Sessions are for user data. If it's the same for all
users then it doesn't belong in the session, it belongs in a server-wide
cache.
Sessions are for whatever you choose to put in them. And why implement a
cache when you've got something perfectly usable (sessions) already?
