             Summary: Configuration API should have a way to allow empty configurations
                 Key: SLING-10494
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10494
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Feature Model
    Affects Versions: Feature Model API Regions Extension 1.3.0
            Reporter: Karl Pauls
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: Feature Model API Regions Extension 1.3.2


The way the Configuration API currently handles configurations (and factory configurations) is that an empty entry means don't allow. In other words, listing an empty configuration (factory) is the same as marking it as internal-configuration(-factory). 

That makes sense in as far as that makes it nicer to be able to specify configurations that are not allowed inline with the other configurations - however, it misses a case where it is now impossible to allow an empty configuration. 

That could be problematic as sometimes, empty configurations are used to configure e.g. services - that use case would at a minimum now not show up in the Configuration API as one would be forced not to mention the configuration at all in order to allow somebody to still be able to create an empty configuration.
