I don't see how injecting is crazy? You mean you find it crazy that you have to add an additional config parameter to your controller constructors? If that is what bothers you then you can create one base constructor where you inject the config and then have other classes derive from it...

It's simply not an appropriate thing to be injecting. App settings are that, settings for the app. They don't change on the fly, if they do change the app should restart, and it's definitely not something that should be injected.
