Tom Rutt commented on CAMP-196:
-------------------------------
I would like to point out the single case in our Model which could cause difficulity if we allow the consumer to change the link attribute of a collection:
The assembly resource has a component_collection attribute (down pointers) and the component resource has an assembly_collection attribute (up pointers).
To add an existing component to another assembly the consumer would have to (in separate http invocations) update the links in both a down pointing collection resource and a different up pointing collection resource.
Between these two invoctions, the system state is out of synch.
It could introduce inconsistencies in cases of http failures.
> should links attribut of colleciton resource be consumer mutable

> The resolution to issue 192 has the links attribute of the collection resource as Mutable true.
> However it does not make a requirement for it to be consumer mutable true or false.
> In cases of shared components, the administrative user may need to update the collection member links
