Names removed. I’ve got no specific criteria that I’d like to suggest.

In this particular case, the primary reason would be a reconfiguration of the 
domain.

Other than operational consistency, there is no good reason to make this a 
‘MUST’. 
Everything should operate fine if the configurations are inconsistent. The 
information
should be taken from the Area Leader and the remaining information should be 
ignored.

Yes. We like to be as liberal as possible.
