From 6fb9759ef3b8eb2a2b10c3f02a57ece29b5c53ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Attila Lendvai Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 14:40:42 +0200 Subject: services: configuration: Change the value of the unset marker. The new value of %unset-value sticks out more when something goes wrong, and is also more unique; i.e. easier to search for.
