I'm going to close this as WONTFIX because: 1) Changing the behaviour is not backwards compatible, we cannot break existing deployments with an update that changes fundamental behavior. 2) It would make our version of FreeRADIUS incompatible with the upstream version and versions of FreeRADIUS in other distributions (large institutions do run FR on different servers and they want to share configuration and databases between them) 3) FreeRADIUS 2.x is now legacy, it's been replaced by FreeRADIUS 3.x. FreeRADIUS 3.x tightens up the requirement for correct operator usage. This type of change is appropriate to occur only on a major version upgrade where other configuration also needs to be adjusted. 4) It's not actually causing any problems. 5) We could patch FreeRADIUS to emit a warning, but I see little point in spinning a new package and creating an errata just to emit a warning given the issues discussed above. |
