Why would that be the case?

YANG defines the config statement as follows:

   The "config" statement takes as an argument the string "true" or
   "false".  If "config" is "true", the definition represents
   configuration.  Data nodes representing configuration are part of
   configuration datastores.

I do not think it is the intend of the revised datastore model as
written down in the I-D to change this.

Which is a mis-nomer (tree diagrams were inherited from the SNMP world
and somehow the rw/ro distinction was kept even though it is
technically wrong). There are more details here, I will start a
separate thread for this.

Note that the diagrams in the revised datastore ID make a clear
distinction between ct/cf and rw/ro. In particular, the ID notes that
ct object may be rw in one datastore but ro in a different datastore.
