If these are two individuals, you will not always know who should prevent who
from doing what..

Agreed, it is not essential but changing the Apache config and restarting http
services will perhaps be not as easy as 'stop overriding this pref' by changing
a koha preference..

What we do need in addition to this patch, is a way to make very clear in the
preferences editor that a specific preference has been overridden.
