We're discussing here about an advanced feature most people will likely
never need. If that option will mostly remain untouched that's good. And if the
"fail" part sounds a bit scary, it will more likely stop people who don't know
what they're doing from making their server unreachable. If people want to use
that feature, they should really know what they're doing, and in that case the
"fail"-part won't stop them from using that feature :)

If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your
reply appear on GitHub as well. If your project does not have this feature
enabled and wishes so, or if the feature is enabled but not working, please
contact infrastructure at [email protected] or file a JIRA ticket
with INFRA.
