How can I exclude configuration from import/export?

I thought this was a simple use case of the new Configuration management system, but I haven’t had any luck finding out how to solve this:

Problem

I want to store configuration in git and use drush to export configuration during development and then on deployment import the configuration. Pretty similar to doing a features revert in Drupal 7. My problem is that I don’t want to store access codes in git for various integrations. This results in these configurations being deleted on
$ drush cim -y

Where I looked

I was hoping there would be a simple list/configuration for configs that should be excluded on import/export. It seems there was at some point but it must have been removed again, since it’s available at present Drupal 8 release.

I looked into how config changes are being made comparing the active and sync storange to see if there as a place where I could remove changes, this didn’t seem to be the case. I looked at how drush does the configuration import as it has some configuration excludes of it’s own, but it didn’t look like this was extensible. I looked at ConfigEvents, but these all seem to happen after an import, so doesn’t look like this can be used.

Am I missing something, or is it not possible to simply exclude configs from import/export?
