This is a global flag.
All solutions ignore the possibility that the server is capable of
detecting the
current corresponding active value for a subset of all data nodes.
I think the wilton draft is easiest to fix.
It avoids the problem of "what does a missing applied node mean?"
For each indented config node, attributes can be returned to indicate:
- status known? yes/no
- unknown status temporary? yes/no
The attribute return values can be quite deterministic with this extra info.
