Possibly such a check is desirable but the principled reason it wasn't
written that way in the first place is: why add arbitrary
restrictions? Perhaps I'm doing the `add' and `init-tree' steps in
"the other order" -- should tla really prohibit that?

Those checks are more obviously desirable. Although you can `rm -rf
/bin', too.
