I wrote I was indifferent about this in a previous mail but when I think about it now, switching to invalid root is perhaps better than switching to member since it'd effectively mean that modifications of the parent config propagate (permanently) also to a descendant config, which is an undesired v1-ism. > Please let me know what other changes you would like to see. I hope my remarks below are just clarifications and not substantial changes. Besides that I find your new draft good.
