Why each option
`configure exclusive` mode ensures that only one user can make configuration changes at a time, and any commit only applies that user's modifications.
This describes `configure private` mode, not `configure exclusive`. Exclusive mode prevents multiple users from entering configuration mode simultaneously.
In `configure exclusive` mode, the user is working on a private candidate configuration, similar to `configure private`, so when they commit, only their specific changes are applied to the active configuration.
While the system may indicate other users in configuration mode, the defining characteristic of exclusive mode is preventing simultaneous *editing*, making "only a single user can edit the configuration" the more accurate and primary truth for this mode.
The primary purpose of `configure exclusive` is to prevent multiple users from simultaneously modifying the candidate configuration, effectively locking it for a single user to ensure no conflicting changes occur.
