Yeah, but you still run into stuff like db contact and driver information being mixed up with secret used for contacting that service. Those should be separate fields I think so they can be split/merged with that mechanism.

Thanks,

Sure. It's already possible today to use multiple configuration
files with oslo.config, using either the --config-dir option or by
passing multiple --config-file options.
