I don't understand what you mean by "persistent" here. I take that to mean that once you change the list attributes, they stay changed until you change them again. But that doesn't seem to make sense.
What I would like (and perhaps that's the same Adam would like) would be to have inherited list styles, so that precedence is (most to least)
a) the list config, b) templates in order of inheritance (e.g. via parent template), c) site default, d) programmatic defaults
Which would mean: if I change a template later on, all the lists adopt behavour.
However, that isn't the current way. However, currently, the template is copied into the list config at creation time, and then there is no relationship between the two anymore.
Great that you're working on that, this makes lots of sense for some use cases.
