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.
