This part can perhaps be addressed by the venerable 'adding an
abstraction layer', in the shape of config format generator plugins. I
can supply the native json plugin, others can add kas, repo, or
whatever else they find useful.

Also, the json is versioned and almost nothing in it is required. If
some ideas don't work out, or are found to cause problems, there are
ways to transition out of problematic bits - perhaps even as simple as
dropping the bad ideas from the generator, or the setup script,
without modifying the schema.

We do need a starting point though.
