I now see that you added a SQUASH commit (that was news to me, thank you very much), and that you seem to still insist that the code should prepare for possible future changes in the config settings that may actually never materialize. (And that would have to be handled at a different point, as I had pointed out, so that suggested preparation would most likely not help at all.) In short: unless I read any convincing argument in favor of said SQUASH commit, I will remain convinced that v3, as submitted, is actually the best way forward. Thank you for your attention, Johannes
