Thank you for the response, Stefan!
I was surprised about the behavior for 1. below and I'm positive that I have
seen the
new code activate immediately before also. I'll look into this further.
I'm not surprised what you describe about #2. When you say "remove this
definition
manually", what does that entail? If I try to delete the node type definition
via
the composum browser, the operation fails because the node is protected.
