Can you live with something like this?

 - we will add new ones to config, now we have it;

 - we will not deprecate existing ones outside of config for some time;

 - we will not duplicate/move existing ones into config at least
   for now to keep our work less complicated;

 - we would revisit deprecating things outside config file
   sometime later after 1.0 stabilizes, and that's when we will
   talk about moving these things into config.
