I don't remember agreeing to one spec with two stages for this. If you
want to get something approved in workable in Train, validating the
values for known keys is low-hanging-fruit. Figuring out how to validate
known keys in a way that allows out of tree extra specs to work is going
to be a lot more complicated and rat-holey, so I would personally make
those separate efforts and separate specs.
