However it seems a bit overkill to define this as a general rule IMO. Regarding your points: - If the need is to remove an app’s generated content and keep only config + code then it’s easy, all you need to do is to remove/empty the XXX space - Concerning the rights, yes I guess having a space can make it easier. However in general an app has 1 config page (maybe 2) and it’s easy to define a right at the page level if a user wants to decide who has the right to edit configuration IMO.
