Because this is not patch or jumbo patch but patch package... so it is the same 
as you would apply 7.1.6 or 7.2.9 or whatever... partiall uninstall and then 
install.

This is not specific patch, but change done to code did involve changing most 
of the binaries. Not sure now 100%, but I think this file is left when doing 
unistall and install after and there is no change to force different action 
than previous default action.  Not sure if this will change in 7.1.4 and/or 
7.2.1.

Well, it could be yes or no... If we have to set it yes it means no is default. 
 Like LTO2 block size is 64 and it sucks and you have to to set it to 256 for 
example.  I know that setting this on each client is pain and in big envs. does 
include some change request work that could be even bigger pain, but that's 
life..

I wonder if you asked Legato about the details?  Don't get me wrong, but I 
would place my questions in that direction.
