Isn't this like the current state with /etc files?
OK, besides one file per key as it is the electra idea IIRC.

Maybe that is the case with the WBEM provider version, AFAIK the layered CFG 
is only a modular tool to edit configs on an enhanced abstracted level (node 
hirarchy with properties).

CFG "is just a tool that people can use to edit existing, plain text files one 
day, and the next day to edit them by hand if you 
wish" (http://freedesktop.org/Software/CfgFAQ)
