--------------------------------------------
Note that the tests at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/bundles/extensions/settings/src/test/java/org/apache/sling/settings/impl/RunModeImplTest.java
help understanding the details of how this works.

> Often there is a need to provide different features where the user might have
> the ability to choose whether a feature should be installed or not.
> This can easily be done with a run mode, so a feature is put into a run mode,
> and if the run mode is activated by the user, the feature is installed.
> However, there are cases where two features might be concurrent, so either
> feature A or feature B should be installed. Still run modes can be used by
> defining two run modes A and B - but in this case if the user does not choose
> one of the run modes, nothing is installed - or if the user selects both run
> modes, both are installed.
> We could support such use cases with some configuration properties for the
> settings service:
> a) we define a property which contains run modes that are usually always
> active
> b) in addition, we define a property which contains whether a run mode is
> active unless another run mode is active.
> So for the above use case, we define run mode A as always active and also set
> the second property to define that A is not active once B is activated by the
> user
> We could also define a third property which contains a set of run modes that
> are only choosable on the first startup of the installation, so in the in the
> example above, if this property is defined for A and B, the user selection of
> the first startup is preserved
