Uhm. I think you may have misunderstood the goal here. The point was to
allow the remote server to *control* the configuration. The remote
method called is a Branch verb; it can't return an object over the wire,
so it is returning something which the rest of the code will correctly
interpret.

e.g. this is meant to be explictly at the Branch level.
