I'd like to re-raise my continued concern that a GUI workflow shouldn't
cause meaningless objects to be entered into the CIB. That's IMHO bad
style in general.

Further, as Andrew just reminded me, this causes an additional CIB
update in the cluster per each step, which seems harmless enough, but
also causes a PE/TE iteration. For _each_ step, as none is aggregrated.
That may or may not be desireable.

We need a better way than the current one, the GUI really needs to way
to aggregate some changes. If that was present, we wouldn't need to
create meaningless containers. (Which is NOT the same as full-scale
transactions.)

And no, I'll keep flogging this horse until it gets better.


Sincerely,
