There is a desire to pass some user configuration to stage1 (to configure a custom path to network plugins) and there was a proposal to add new fields to an already existing config (#1992) . I don't like the idea of mixing configuration for stage0 and stage1. So my idea is to move stage0 config to {/usr/lib/rkt,/etc/rkt}/config. Stage1 config would be in {/usr/lib/rkt,/etc/rkt}/stage1-config. That would work nicely with the default stage1 images directory added in #1977, which defaults to /usr/lib/rkt/stage1-images, so this path wouldn't clash with configuration stuff.

The config in /etc/rkt/config would have everything we stored in /etc/rkt so far. Config in /etc/rkt/stage1-config could contain configuration for location of network plugins and for the network itself.

This is a break, so it would be nice to land this before 1.0.
