There is some use for deleting a corrupted <startup>, but minor. If the agent SW is buggy, such that *it* is responsible for the <startup> corruption, then <copy-config> may not work to fix it. Perhaps something in the <startup> is causing the bug to show up, or even cause a reboot. Perhaps in some implementation, deleting the <startup> could allow the agent to boot 'far enough' to reload a previous SW image, and then recover the config to <running> somehow.
Practically, what would it mean to delete the <startup> configuration? To overwrite it with all zeros? Or do we require that the <startup> configuration include some type of flag indicating whether it is there or not?
