To be clear, this is what I have been working to iteratively improve over the 6 months, and I have gotten rid of quite a few of them (no longer need to update WebCore, WebKitLegacy Mac, WebKit, DumpRenderTree, and WebKitTestRunner for runtime flags was a big one, (still have one more to go, but we will get there, see Bug 222866). But one thing that makes it a challenging project is the lack of definitions for things.

I would like to merge features.json and these preference yaml files at some point, but it is not clear they are always at the same granularity, so we will have to be careful in how we go about doing it, but it is a really important goal to me that we do (my memory is not good enough to remember more than 1 or 2 places to update anything).
