You are right, this is a quirk of crmsh: Each level has its own "state",
and exiting the level triggers a commit. Running a command like
"configure primitive ..." results internally in three movements;

* enter the configure level: This fetches the CIB and checks that it is writable
* create the primitive: This updates the internal copy of the CIB
* exit the configure level: This creates, verifies and applies a patch to the CIB

I can't speak for others, but somehow this has never caused me problems
as far as I can remember. Either I have been using it interactively from
within the configure section, or I have been running commands from
bash. I can't recall if that's because I was told at some point or if it
was made clear in the documentation somewhere.

Cheers,
Kristoffer
