IMO, there's no need to to that. I mean, if someone wants to add
a new field, he can just patch tests/kms_test_config.json, adding the
new "Foo" field at kms_test_config.json:

diff --git a/tests/kms_test_config.json b/tests/kms_test_config.json
index 9219ae4ebd9d..1dfca84dd73c 100644
--- a/tests/kms_test_config.json
+++ b/tests/kms_test_config.json
@@ -35,6 +35,7 @@
                 "description": "Defines the test category. Usually used at subtest level."
             }
         },
+        "Foo" : { },
         "Description" : {
             "_properties_": {
                 "description": "Provides a description for the test/subtest."

NOTE: It would probably make sense to add a description to it, to make
clear what such "Foo" field means, in a similar way to the descriptions
added to the other fields.

As the fields are optional, this won't require any changes at the
existing tests, and will provide an extra benefit that the meaning of
the "Foo" field can be documented via _properties_/description field.

Mauro
