There is a concept of marking configurations as _active_ and _inactive_ -- _inactive_ configurations will not be displayed in the RC GUI and cannot be run. Typically we want to label any configuration that should not longer be used as _inactive_: configurations that are outdated, or no longer valid, or just no longer needed.
