Depends on D20933. Ref T13362. This reorganizes Config a bit and attempts to simplify it.
Subsections are now in a landing page console and groupings have been removed. We "only" have 75 values you can edit from the web UI nowadays, which is still a lot, but less overwhelming than it was in the past. And the trend is generally downward, as config is removed/simplified or moved into application settings.
This also gets rid of the "gigantic blobs of JSON in the UI".
