Hmmm, how about we say that the remnants must be "inactive" like this?

   Some state MAY be retained from the bootstrapping process (e.g., updated 
   boot image, logs, remnants from a script, etc.).  However, the retained 
   state MUST NOT be active in any way (e.g., no new configuration or running
