I never added 'find the root and build from there' or the 'require a
root' to config-manager, yet it was still very useful ;). In terms of
impact, only scripts that cd somewhere other than the tree root before
running *-config commands will be impacted. It uses -d to determine
where to build the config.

I think that removing the constraints, and the heuristic search path to
the config, and then adding -d would be best from  UI point of view.
