Comment (by Roland Haas):

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

[stammpede2]
user = rhaas

(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.
