Disabling the --registry_strict flag in 1.0

[Neil Conway <ne...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

I'd like to propose that we disable the --registry_strict flag for
1.0. You can find the rationale for this change here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5833

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on whether we should make
this change.

Thanks,
Neil

I'd think so.

I agree it isn't necessary, but I think the cost of cutting another RC
is fairly low. Since we are confident that we don't want framework
authors to rely on the behavior enabled by the registry-strict flag, I
think taking active steps to prevent that is worth the cost.

That's another option, although if we want to make the docs and
"--help" output shipped with 1.0 consistent with the website, it would
also require code changes. Given that disabling the flag is a trivial
change, I'd still opt for that over a documentation-only change.

Hi Neil,

Does this mean that we'll have to cut another 1.0 RC just for that?

If we were to cut another RC (e.g., due to bugs, which is likely), I would
be happy to include the patch that disables the flag in the new RC. But if
not, personally, I don't think this is necessary.

As far as I know, no one is setting this flag to true. Can we instead, just
document that this flag should not be set?
