+Other considerations: vyos-configd
+----------------------------------
+
+All scripts now run under the config daemon and must conform to the
+following:
+
+1. The signature and initial four lines of ``get_config(...)`` `must` be as
+   above.
+
+2. Each of ``get_config``, ``verify``, ``apply``, ``generate`` `must`
+   appear, with signatures as above, even if they are a no-op.
+
+3. Instantiations of ``Config`` other than that in ``get_config`` `must not`
+   appear.
+
+4. The legacy function ``my_set`` `must not` appear: modifications of the
+   active config `should` not appear in new code (if absolutely necessary,
+   alternative mechanisms may be used).
