I think the accept-updates state is better managed in a separate
pre-operation plugin which is able to distinguish internal vs external
updates. I'm actually writing something like this at the moment in my
free time which could work here.

This configuration is really confusing. I can see how it's meant to
work, but I don't like it.

Again, I'm really against adding more configuration options. We should
do "the right thing by default, always". Admins are lazy and aren't
going to fine tune their replication for fun. 

My vote is scrap these two configuration options, and just make it
"auto" behaviour.
