I could also think of a structure with a subfolder per runmode, as it
is done by jcrinstall for install and config folders. Eg.
/etc/map
+ runmode1
+http
+ server.com
....
+ runmode2
+http
+ server2.com
....
Might be clearer. It doesn't allow for mapping a mapping config node
to multiple folders, but one could easily copy the config to multiple
locations.
If the runmode bundle is considered optional, this could also be an
optional feature, ie. if no runmode bundle is present, the differences
are ignored and all configs are applied. The question is if that is
breaking backwards-compatibility in some way? I think if the runmode
folders are marked, eg. by a special node type, one could easily
separate between a config with runmode folders "in between" or a plain
existing one.
