I don't think this scales very well. If we build up an infrastructure where Cocoon is able to hot deploy Cocoon Blocks you need your coocon.xconf, roles, logkit.xconf and sitemaps side by side. IMO a better solution yould be a central registry for Cocoon Block which builds up all necessairy structure to have such a block use their own set of config files without the need to specify them elsewhere but in the Block jar.
