We also need: backup priority for internal caches as well as conflict
resolution for backups to avoid broken data replicating in the wrong
direction.

I think we can certainly make it additive, especially now that we

configs are less probable (but still possible). Alternatively, instead
of overriding, we just check that it matches the requirements.
