Research direction

Start by locating the monolithic addedTypes, overridingTypes, and removedTypes files and reviewing how their contents are organized by topic. Separate the entries into smaller topic-specific files, including a streams topic where applicable, and evaluate KDL for the new-file format; done means the generator still consumes the split configuration correctly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I don't think monolithic files help much. Smaller topic-by-topic files would help understanding why they exist, e.g. Streams customization can go into "streams" topic.

Given this will add new files, I'd like to try KDL for new ones than having to use JSON.
