That's right. Let me try to reformulate my proposal. If we require an operator 
to reserve resources for one role per request, it can be interpreted as an 
"operator role". An advantage here is that `validate()` method doesn't need to 
be changed, while a disadvantage is that this approach is a bit artificial and 
can lead to confusion. What do you think?
