I'm not sure I'm *persuaded*, but I am certainly swayed. As I said initially, the consistency afforded by option 3 is very appealing. If my concerns about the viability of the --node-terminus option for overriding the ENC prove unfounded then I wouldn't complain about option 3. In any case, I agree that 'apply' should be abundantly clear about which environment is chosen, and why.
