I guess the problem have to be fixed anyway.

However you might suggest another fix for the issue? There are several
other ways to indicate whether box is configured, e.g. introduce the
specific value to the box table. What do you think?

I see for now box.cfg call as not the one performance critical, but I
might be missing something you see.

It would be great if you detailed a bit your proposal regarding the fix
and its benchmarks.
