This sounds interesting. But be aware that I've only got started with  
trees and tree configurations. I also wanted to create a  
"ConfigurableTree" which would read almost its full configuration from  
the config repository instead of a tree configuration class...  I do  
believe that Magnolia could still be improved a bit in this area.

So sure, shoot, and I'll give it a try.
