\directlua{print('shell-escape = ' .. status.shell_escape)}
\bye
the above if run with luatex (and no --shell-escape option)
returns
texshell-es
cape = 2
in texlive 2016 (even using a luatex 1.04 test release)
but
texshell-escape = 1
in 2017
This has broken lots of things and causing mail
on the texlive list, was this an intended change?
