no, you are supposed make changes using the same methods you'd use for any other openldap database.  that's via ldap operations, or using slapcat/slapadd/etc.  from a shell prompt is of course one possibility for accomplishing that, and certainly not the only choice.

*away* from cn=config?  to what?  slapd.conf?  if you intend to continue using openldap, that is the *wrong* direction.  cn=config [slapd-config] is replacing slapd.conf.  not the other way around.  slapd.conf will eventually go away.  if you are already using slapd.conf, procrastinating in switching to slapd-config could be argued as being understandable.  if you are already using slapd-config, switching to slapd.conf is just plain silly.
