Understand, looks like it's not a huge problem since the end user 
does not use the file directly.

But if we are talking about device configuration and assuming the 
end run-time result is intended to be a constant table, then there 
are ways of structuring data that does not need a conditional 
structure that would still work at run-time when the specific 
device is known. I'm not that convinced you need conditional 
structures in the configuration files...
