Right, me too. Please stay consistent about it. Consistency over
everything! The current way of some properties being writable, and
some being writable, but silently forgetting (like .status) is bad
enough. Now, having some changes which require lp_save() and some
which don't will turn an API user's life into hell, really. It will
cause delays or potential network errors where they aren't expected,
and don't allow for rolling back changes by not calling lp_save().
