I've proposed that in [1].  I look forward to some -1's :)

OTOH, oslo.config is not the only way we have to support
configuration. This looks like a good example of settings that are
more complex than what oslo.config is meant to handle, and that
might be better served in a separate file with the location of that
file specified in an oslo.config option.

My personal opinion is that yet-another-config-file in possibly
yet-another-format is just a few lines of code, but has a pretty high
cost for packagers, testers, admins, etc.  So I feel like that's
probably a last-resort.
