Are there plans to support loading external configuration via Spring's spring.config.import mechanism?

[tylervangorder-8451]

Many of the spring cloud projects (spring-config-server, spring-cloud-vault) have moved away from using the bootstrap.properties/boostrap.yml to load external configuration early in the Spring application's lifecycle in favor of using the configuration imports.

Are there plans to do something similar with Azure App Configuration?

Yes, but it will be a breaking change to support it. We are waiting on the next major release.
