Review Comment:
   > It also allows us to override e.g. catalogConfig which shouldn't be valid 
for these flags.
   
   That seems reasonable, but given that we use a builder, can't we just 
enforce that at construction? I do like having the different config types 
housed in different namespaces (as in your examples 
`BehaviorChangeConfiguration.UNSTABLE_FLAG` vs 
`FeatureConfiguration.ACTUAL_FEATURE`)... 
   
   I guess I would just like to ensure that the call sites that are checking 
for config values don't need to know what type the configuration is at runtime. 
I can just imagine cases where someone accidentally references one type and the 
config field is another or someone tries to write some generic code that only 
works for one config type but not the other...
