Ok, I changed this. But there are some related issues: as Dannes pointed 
out recently, there are ways to lock yourself out of the db by uploading 
an invalid collection.xconf. The basic problem is that you can upload it 
without being warned and once it is stored, you cannot remove or update 
it again since you will get a CollectionConfigurationException. This is 
something we need to fix before the next release. We need to check the 
validity of the configuration before actually storing it.
