I realize that I forgot to supply the motivation for this question. So long as the configuration is read-only (set up at karaf-assembly-build time), then there's really nothing objectionable about .cfg -> .yaml. I've started to think about the possibility of allowing for people to push changed configuration into the running system. I could arrange this as 'new yaml file, tell config-admin new prop value' and that would work, but I found myself wondering if anyone had a scheme other than that or flattening.
