Interesting that drush si --existing-config fails but the good-old-deprecated drush si config_installer does not.

    Calling flush all caches in #25 is something that should be avoid 99,9% of the times, it usually means we have no idea which caches has stale data so we have to flush them all.

    Since 3 years passed and it was opened for an older major, maybe it is better to re-validate if this issue still exists and in which branches are affected.
