Then why don't we provide a sensible default in the example
bacula-dir.conf, as we do in the example bacula-sd.conf?  Why doesn't
the setting in bacula-sd.conf have a reasonable default if omitted?  The
single-director case is the overwhelming majority of installations.
Multiple-director installations and cases where concurrency is not
desired are going to be the exceptions, not the rule.


I've yet to work my way through all of the updated documentation.  But
in what I have read so far, there's much that is difficult to find even
when you know it's got to be there somewhere and are actively looking
for it, and in the HTML version, there are many circular links that just
point back to themselves.

(Try variable expansion in the online HTML documentation, for one example.)
