Would it be possible/desirable to add in a configuration option to 
"Auto-Persist?"  To me, the Save + Persist model has always seemed like 
one save too many, but I do recognize its importance to people.  With 
"Auto-Persist," any changes made by hitting "Save" in a config page 
would automatically persist.  (As long as I'm dreaming, when this 
feature would be activated, instead of the Persist button, there would 
be a text field saving "Auto-Persist enabled," kind of like how Google 
Docs tell you that your doc is already saved.)

Analogy:

Pretend you were editing a text document (or sound file, or whatever). 
Imagine if hitting "Save" would save the file, but when you closed and 
reopened the program, the file became unchanged, unless you had 
additionally hit "Persist".  I recognize this is a desktop metaphor, and 
so not a perfect analogy, but I'm sure there more people than just me 
out there who gets tripped up by this in GeoServer.

Thanks,
Mike
