I don't like this option, because it creates issues:
* copy-paste is always problematic (yes, my option O1 has then
same issues)
* merging two tree structures creates additional issues with
respect to ordering and expected behaviour (rember that a
system may be running with more than one run-mode, so this
merge is required)
* Other than merging this is more or less the same as my
option O1 (ok, that's not really a reason for dislike but ;-) )
