Absolutely, global setting is a must when an admin wants a quick path.
The more flexible would be to have two bits per route, plus
2 bits on the global configuration.
global conf:
00 : timestamps OFF, unless a route setting is not 00
01 : timestamps ON, unless a route setting is not 00
10 : Force timestamps OFF, ignore route settings (emergency sysadmin request)
11 : Force timestamps ON, ignore route settings
Route settings (used *only* if global setting is 0Y)
00 : global conf is used
01 : Force timestamps being OFF for this route
10 : Force timestamps being ON for this route
11 : complement global conf
