TSubclassOF<> and ini Configs broken?

It seems as though it is no longer posible to initialize TSubclassOf<> members via the Ini config system.

I see a lot of things now using FSoftClassPath. Is this what we are supposed to be using?

The UGameMode is still using TSubclassOf DefaultPawnClass. However we are unable to specify a new default through the DefaultGame.Ini file.

This is no longer data driven. We have to write code to make it data driven once more. Is there a plan to change this?
