This may have changed, but 2 years ago when I took it there were no
restrictions. I did the same thing on saving the initial configuration.

The problem that arises is that there isn't anything stopping someone from
copying a fully working lab config to the flash. The routers are generally
cleared via script, and I don't think they had programmed their script to
scrape the flash. I say this because as I was poking around I saw a
half-finished config on the flash for a different lab and alerted the
proctor. He said that you shouldn't write to flash; people obviously do
anyway. They may have formalized it somehow.
