I had this crazy idea, Perhaps it would be easier to reverse the problem.
Introduce a kind of Lazy_Enable mode. Which means config is enabled but
gets it's use_count bumped up every time someone is dependent on it.
At the end, for optimization, any Lazy_Enable with zero count, is dropped.
Is that at all possible in current infrastructure?
(I admit I never looked at the source)
