This seems like a pretty legitimate case to split the config.  Very
little of the config for the arm64 builder will be shared with any of
the other builders, so perhaps unlike the case where one simply wants
high-availability launchers, this seems like a very sensible use of a
separate config file.

At any rate, that's what we should do in openstack-infra to solve the
issue Ian asked about.
