Looking forward to reading the entire report & in the meantime:
"The configuration update triggered a logic error that resulted in an operating system crash.”
The debate over configuration over code is much less important than change over stasis. It's tempting to advocate for “just accelerating this low risk config change", but all changes, including an absence of change, imply uncertainty. Calling something "config" doesn't make it safer.
