<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>One downside of this change is that a misspelled entry in defs.local.ini will only trigger a warning now while before it would have aborted simfactory, eg a section</p>
<div class="codehilite language-plaintext"><pre><span></span><span class="k">[stammpede2]</span>
<span class="na">user</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s">rhaas</span>
</pre></div>
<p>(with an extra “b”) will only trigger a warning about an incomplete machine “stammpede2” while before it would have aborted with “stammpede2” missing some keys.</p>
