Well, I'm not really sure if the configuration parameters are hierarchical. I haven't given much thought on the internal organization of various parameters in all configuration files and their inter-dependencies. However I feel that the parameters that govern the behaviour of openstack components should be in a data store that can be queried from a single data store. Also it would make deployments less error prone.
