When cloudmonkey starts, it assumes the defaults in case any key is missing in 
the config. This issue you’re seeing is because cloudmonkey does not know which 
config to pick the new one of old one and what to do if both old and new ones 
exist.

If we had host, port, path, protocol in the config file and the server profile 
section as well there won’t be any way to know which one to pick. To fix that, 
we don’t write or read these values from config file, but we still support the 
set command on them which internally sets the url parameter.

This was also done so that any of your automation/script that are still using 
set commands on these options won’t fail. And now cloudmonkey will not fail and 
exit if there are any missing keys but it would add them in the config and let 
you know.

I think backward compatibility is best maintained at interface level so we are 
not taking away any (set) options which was the fix.

If you’ve any solution on how to handle the case where both old config and new 
config are present in the config, let’s fix that? There were couple of other 
minor corner cases, supporting them would have added some technical debt to the 
code so I avoided that and I think the impact to users would be minimum. Please 
advise?
