Hi Philip,
Nice hack! Thanks for documenting it for others and thanks for sticking with Cloud SQL, despite this shortcoming.
The reason we are not providing access to Mysql config files is that we want to offer Cloud SQL as a zero-admin service. This means we take full responsibility for running your instances, like GAE does for apps. But this also means that we cannot give you full access to the mysql config because there's just too many ways to render an instance inoperable by changing it.
Of the goals of being in preview is to learn more about what our users want, and the case you've described seems like a legitimate reason to open up some of the config (the app-level part) to users and we'll definitely consider the option.
We really appreciate the feedback, so keep it coming!
Cheers,
jm.
