> That's unfortunate (for Cloudant). Could you explain what this "fiasco" actually is? The text above appears not to mention what problems ensue from fixing this bug. The specific problems are that Cloudant manages `default.ini` with chef, but uses persistent `set` and `delete` which write to an unmanaged `local.ini`. Cloudant operators use don't realize they are writing delete markers into `local.ini`, and use `reload` extensively to mask that ignorance. If we "fix" `reload` to ignore delete markers, then those persistent deletes would end up preventing the managed values in `default.ini` from ever being used. They settings they assumed would come from chef would be ignored. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
