Hey everyone, There has already been some Slack discussion <https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CK23JSY2K/p1645033339547749> around this, but for anyone who doesn't follow that closely, I'd like to lobby more widely for my proposal in CASSANDRA-17292 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17292> to eventually move cassandra.yaml toward a more nested structure.
The proposal itself is here <https://github.com/maedhroz/cassandra/commit/450b920e0ac072cec635e0ebcb63538ee7f1fc5a>, and there has already been some inline discussion, but feel free to drop any feedback there, in the Jira, or here, depending on what you're most comfortable with. Given where we are in the lead-up to 4.1, I have no intention of pushing to adopt any of this for existing config in that release. However, what I think *would* be nice is if we could come to a rough consensus in time to inform work on new parameters, like those we're planning to add in CASSANDRA-17188 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17188>. Thanks!
