Supposedly there are plans for how to conduct a "cold" start of the system, but as far as I know it's never actually been tried.
Presumably for the infrequently read configs you could do this so the service with frequently read configs can bootstrap without the service for infrequently read configs.
For example a service discovery system periodically serializes peers to disk, and then if the whole thing falls down we have static IP addresses for a node and the service discovery system can use the last known IPs of peers to bring itself back up.
