At the time the decision was taken, a feature: this allows you to
restart the server (using /Admin/Properties?restart), to restart the
server with the new settings *before* saving them: if you did a
mistake, you can just kill/restart Jigsaw to get back to old values.

Of course, what you would really like is to have this "versioning"
stuff happen behind the scene....
