   This is working as documented: https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/7.1.x/admin-guide/files/cache.config.en.html#matching-multiple-rules
   
   > When multiple rules are specified in cache.config, Traffic Server will check all of them in order for each request. Thus, two rules which match the same request but have conflicting actions will result in their actions being compounded. In other words, Traffic Server does not stop on the first match.
   
   And we can't change the current behavior, or we'd break people.
   
   I think we all agree the behavior is highly unintuitive. We're planning to rewrite all configs in YAML. When we rewrite cache.config in YAML, we should make that design not additive, or somehow more intuitive.
