I think the idea here is that they are required so that a `scalar
reconfigure` will set them, even if the current enlistment had been
created by a previous Scalar version that had _not_ set those.
And yes, in a merge-ort world, `merge.renames` should probably be forced
to `true`, again because it is in the "Required" section.
