Why is proxy.config.cache.select_alternate undocumented?

Hi,

I found the config proxy.config.cache.select_alternate is undocumented.
Could you tell me the reason?

I would like to disable proxy.config.cache.select_alternate.
That is, I don't want to use alternates and I want touse the same cache
for the same URI but different user agents.

I tried setting proxy.config.cache.select_alternate to 0 and confirmed
it works as expected.

Will proxy.config.cache.select_alternate be supported in the future version
of ATS?

Thanks,
Hiroaki

great news, I think that means NO ONE used this feature in the past decade, we should do something to prevent it from dead:
1, doc it in the admin docs, the more user the safer, that may prevent from removed by developers.
2, make some testing case for ci/tsqa tools, that may prevent from breaking by accident.

let’s do it
