Yes, let's put it to a vote.  From last week's IRC meeting, I believe I
have a +1 from aaime and simboss, +0 from jdeolive.  (Please correct me
if I'm wrong.)

The configuration is completely orthogonal to the org.geoserver.catalog
classes, much as templates and permissions are.  Decoration layouts are
defined in XML files, which can be referenced by name in a format option
as described in both the GSIP and the wiki page.  These layouts are
global; at present there is no association between layouts and any other
configuration entity.

Disabling the feature is as simple as neglecting to define any layout
files.

The existing watermark configuration is already interpreted as an extra
'static image' decoration which is appended to each layout.
