The requirements question Moving/repurposing a router without a factory reset seems like the perhaps the most important source of conflict in the architecture that we discussed. Particularly if the router is put into a junk drawer for a few months until it is needed. So, we might need to consider if we can expire persisted settings after some long (from the point of view of the network) time, like 1 week...
