Config can only be imported via through drush, config synchronization interface or module installation. If it needs to happen, during runtime, fx post save of a section frontpage node type etc, it would be useless to use this strategy :) | |

Since Drupal 8 is still so young, a lot of people don't know a lot about the plugin system and the documentation could use more use cases etc, which can give a lot of devs a hard time working with it. | |
