Well, an important reason for keeping them separate is that working with
monitor does not impact other operations, while working with config in
most cases requires other operations to be idle.

That schema is hardcoded in back-monitor code (it is registered run-time
when the monitor backend is initialized).  If you don't see it, probably
you're not loading the back_monitor module or something like that.
