OK, I've obviously pushed that out of my brain, because you are really
clear about it:
"
All controllers which are not bound to other hierarchies are
automatically bound to unified hierarchy and show up at the root of
it. Controllers which are enabled only in the root of unified
hierarchy can be bound to other hierarchies at any time.  This allows
mixing unified hierarchy with the traditional multiple hierarchies in
a fully backward compatible way.
"

This of course sorts out my concerns. Sorry about the noise!

git grep CFTYPE_ON_ON_DFL origin/master didn't show me anything.

Thanks!
