The point of configurations is predictability. A user puts a configuration
in their workspace RSR and expects to see a consistent set of revisions
based on some release. If configuration@latest were allowed, the workspace
could change without the user doing anything. This would be unexpected in
most cases and starts looking like mutable configurations.
