Those look quite usable for the GSv3 use case, although I suspect I will 
eventually need get_*_config utility APIs to match the update_*_config ones.

I was initially concerned about the 'one importer' limitation (since 
GSv3 will likely have two alternative distribution channels for content, 
potentially within the same repo, depending on whether or not we're 
willing to release the information to Akamai for transfer). However, I 
realised it makes more sense to deal with the management of multiple 
distribution channels within the importer itself on a case-by-case basis 
rather than trying to define a general purpose mechanism for cooperation 
between arbitrary importers.

Regards,
Nick.
