We already had problems with users deleting nodes that were referenced at other places. I'm not saying this is wise to do so, but it happened. It might be a good idea to separate the live tree from the one the user actually sees, but then again things like of_device_enable_path() and of_device_enable_and_register_by_name() wouldn't work anymore.
