I know nothing of webapp-config, but closing as a dup doesn't normally 
imply what you're trying to make it imply here.

Closed/dup does NOT indicate anything in particular about the validity of 
the multi-reported "thing", except that it's multi-reported.  It's up to 
whoever gets assigned the multi-reported "thing" as to how to resolve it, 
or even what that "thing" might be, bug, invalid/BEBKAC[1], bug in some 
other product, whatever.  That's it.
