Most elements of the config schema map directly to data structures in 
the slapd code. It would be pointless to alter the config schema without 
making corresponding code changes. It would be inappropriate to store 
the config schema in a regular file; that would imply that it can be 
changed freely which is incorrect.

So, since you are asking about extending the config schema, that must 
mean you have written code to provide a new feature. It would be helpful 
for the purpose of this discussion if you describe what your new feature 
is, so we can focus on the proper hooks for integrating it.
