I think a problem with this is that people could have started issuing management commands once the protocol + handlers are up and running before all the other services are up and running.

If ConfigurationPersister.store() gets called we "know" we booted cleanly, and copy this across to .original as needed? If nobody issues any ops that change the model, we'd not get those files created but at least we would have .booting to fall back on?

I don't like this idea very much any more :-)
