Yes, unless we have a tool that needs this, we should turn it off. It would be helpful to: - Not do this the week before a board meeting - Ensure any commits around this clearly note what's happening, so in case something breaks later, we know exactly how to undo it. My only question would be if turning this off removes any of the debugging information in our error logs that we might have used to help fix things in the past. I can't think of any cases I've done that tho. Thanks, sebb! -- - Shane Whimsy PMC The Apache Software Foundation
