That would make things ugly indeed. That assumption does not hold, so this won't work. If you go a bit further back in the archives (or wait a week or so) you should find a post `Configuration management, version 5' (message ID is 19980802010352.A25071@wiggy.ml.org) which addresses a lot if not all these issues. Please keep in mind that it's still work - any comments are welcomed. Wichert.
