G'Day Björn,

Sorry for the terse reply.  The patch itself was (is) very terse as to
the rationale, as the phrasing seemed like you were not so much looking
for it to be pushed as to start a discussion as to if we wish to do
this.

So, what I meant was 'I've added an imaginary [WIP] to this patch set
in my head.  Assuming that was correct could you please think about
these things in making your final patch'.

As Ralph as mentioned, Samba actually has comprehensive tests for
correctness of defaults and to ensure they match between the manpages,
lib/param and source3/param systems.  

What I was trying to say (obliquely) is that it looks like you hadn't
run make test or autobuild on this, and so I suggested that you might
want to use GitLab CI as a easy way to do that, and so see the errors
it produces. 

As that would sound like an accusation, I then couched my answer to say
that if you had indeed run a full make test, to please do let me know
because I think it should have failed on that patch. 

Finally, I agree I was very abrupt, and should not have made a reply
when so tired. 

I hope this helps clarify things,

Andrew Bartlett
