Config merging

[kotomkin]

Laravel 11 is merging config from project/config directory with config from laravel/framework/config directory. The merge works for top-level options and for some nested options that are defined in laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Bootstrap/LoadConfiguration.php file:

This includes the merging of 'database.connections' option. For example, if I will remove 'connections.mysql' option from my project/config/database.php file, Laravel will take its value from laravel/framework/config/database.php file over which I have no control.
project/config/database.php:

result:

In other words, I can't remove unnecessary connections from the final config. I would like to have more control over my final config. Is there any mechanism to change the above behavior?

Ok, I found Illuminate\Foundation\Application::dontMergeBaseConfiguration() method.
