That was actually submitted back in November, and rightly kicked back as
needing more work. I would have updated it and resubmitted if that was
the only blocker. But by the time January rolled around, it was already
obvious that the last CommitFest was going into overtime. Didn't seem
like a great time to add a disruptive change like this one into the mix.

I expect to revisit config directories before the first 9.3 CF, it will
help multiple things I'd like to see happen. Then we can circle back to
the main unification job with a fairly clear path forward from there.
