Maybe this is the wrong place to ask but it feels to me we are going about this backward or I am missing some information. I would find it helpful to work from the documentation down to the code instead of the other way around. IOW, let's define first what it is the feature set is: What we can configure where and why (we don't want infinite recursion), what is the behavior, then implementation can follow. For example, where do we allow recursive lookups? When do they happen? How deep? And so on. I guess what I am looking for is some written agreement on what it is we want to provide to users before we release 2.17.2 and create more behavior differences and confusion since the behavior has already changed enough in 2.17.1 to break existing user configurations. With 2.17.2 (or 2.18.0), we are introducing a 3rd behavior set, so let's try and be done with it ;-) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
