Description

It turns out that a RegionObserver can interfere with - ROOT - and .META.

That seems weird and should be prevented.

(The one use case for this that I could come up with is access control by Region by intercepting actions on .META., and I don't think that's a particularly strong use case).

I'll attach a patch as soon as I get to it.
