Comment (by jinmei):
Replying to [comment:3 vorner]:
> We probably want to have some kind of internal/invisible configure
options, as well as internal commands (which we didn't implement yet).

> So my proposal would be to add either some kind of „hidden: true“ option
for the spec file, so it would not be shown to user. Or, have a new type,
let's call it „generation“. It would be number, but bindctl wouldn't show
it, cfgmgr would reject setting it directly and it would auto-increment it
every time the thing changes. These are more systematic solutions and they
don't confuse the user.
I have no problem of this idea, but I'm not sure if we want to
implement all of these in this ticket; for the purpose of this
original subject, we can begin with the original description,
excluding the concept of "generation-id-mode" (auto is assumed).
the "hidden" attribute and updates to bindctl can be done separately,
some time before we finally release it.
