Possible to have a "list" in the root of a file collection?

[snirp]

Gatsby can make relationships between nodes through "mappings". You need to refer to a file - yaml or json - which contains a list in the root.

This would be an example of a file that can be consumed by the Gatsby mapping:

- id: Kyle Mathews
  twitter: "@kylemathews"
- id: Mathew Kyles
  twitter: "@mathewkyles"

I have not found a way to have a root-level list in Netlify CMS. Am I correct that a list can only exist under an object? How can we achieve these mappings then?

I've just been needing the same thing myself, so I'd definitely accept this.

Same here, wondering if maybe a boolean on the collection should signify whether the base value is a list or object.

I have been absolutely banging my head against a wall with this, so would appreciate a solution also! I'm by no means a pro at React/JS but happy to help where I can.
