Why each option
An eDirectory tree contains exactly one tree root object, which is the single topmost container from which the entire directory hierarchy descends.
eDirectory enforces a strictly singular tree root per tree. The tree root is a unique, automatically created object when the tree is first installed, and its uniqueness is fundamental to how all partitions and replicas reference the top of the namespace. No mechanism exists to add a second root.
Two root objects cannot exist; eDirectory's hierarchical namespace requires one authoritative starting point.
Four root objects are not possible; the tree root is always a single, non-duplicable object by architectural design.
Eight root objects are not possible; only one tree root exists per eDirectory tree.
Sixteen root objects are not possible; the singular tree root is a core constraint of the eDirectory schema.
Concept tested: eDirectory tree root object uniqueness
