That's assuming you don't already have custom beans defined to the resolver, which is a common need. If we just defaulted one in as a stubbed out file you'd already have had it and you'd be touching the "existing" resolver configuration either way.

It adds overhead to resolving them too since it's resolved every time, unless you attach, you guessed it, a condition.
