Well, we can update these conditionals _before_ deciding that, and that is the whole point of the part of my message you are responding to. Whether the advertise_trace2_sid means (1) config asked and tracing enabled, or (2) config asked and we do not care whether tracing is enabled or not it makes it easier to flip between (1) and (2) later if you clean up the conditional first. Thanks.
