 Replying to [comment:2 teor]:

 > We talked about rejecting GETCONF with no arguments, but we decided it
 was easier to update the spec. We were concerned that we might break
 controllers that depend on the incorrect behaviour. And it seems like such
 a trivial issue to risk breaking a controller.

 > If we do decide to reject GETCONF with no arguments, we'll also need to
 change the spec to document the versions that (mistakenly) accepted no
 arguments.
 We should figure out which stakeholders we should consult about this
 behavior change, because I think not all of them regularly attend our team
 meetings.
