The RPC was the motivation for this. This is information that is 
required by both the agents and the plugins. In addition to this due to 
the fact that is is from the openstack-common (which used the global 
cfg.CONF) complicates things.

There is still the option to use multiple files with input like:

   --config-file=/etc/quantum.conf --config-file=/etc/quantum/quantum.conf --config-dir=/etc/quantum/plugins.d

Thanks
Gary
