app:config:dump locks every configuration setting no alternative to dump specific setting only

[gulshan-streammarket]

While using pipeline deployment app:config:dump locks every configuration setting and if merchant want to update any email he must have to run app:config:set command which is not possible. There should be some alternative to dump only specific setting that is required to prepare static content on build system.

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.2
2. Pipeline deployment

Steps to reproduce

1. Run app:config:dump

Expected result

1. Email/Payment settings(update/enable/disable) must be editable in admin.

Actual result

1. Settings locked and there is no alternative of app:config:dump

I am not sure whether it is a bug or feature request. But it is not possible piepline deployment with locked confiuratiion. I found Magento-cloud have an alternative command. Am i missing something that i need be aware of.
