Symptom: the comment on the administration declaration of portal-configuration.xml says that reloading only the exo part of the site makes the PageImporter remove Meeds' administration pages, and recommends io.meeds.administration.portalConfig.metadata.importmode=overwrite to reload either part. With Meeds-io/portal#1338 the first is false, and the recommended property also reloads the global site, which the comment doesn't say.

Cause: with Meeds-io/portal#1338, a startup that runs an overwrite declaration of a site imports the pages and the navigation of every declaration of that site, and removes the pages and nodes none of them defines. The io.meeds.administration properties also set the mode of this file's global declaration.

Fix: the comment says that, with overwrite, either property reloads the pages and the navigation of all the administration declarations, Meeds' included, and removes the pages and nodes none of them defines, and that the io.meeds.administration property reloads global as well. Comment only; xmllint --noout on the file at 943e39f: no output (well-formed).

Release order: merge with or after Meeds-io/portal#1338, whose behaviour the comment describes.

Knowledge: Meeds-io/eng-standards#409, #560, #586, #587

This change is classified N3: no REST/DAO/schema/ACL surface touched (a comment in a configuration file).
