> Before FELIX-5661 the web console had a heuristic to detect OSGi configuration properties containing passwords. With FELIX-5661 this switched purely to rely on metatype.
> There is still a lot of code out there which has not updated metatype information for years and is not using password type. Therefore we should provide a compat switch to enable the old behaviour to avoid that passwords are out of the sudden displayed in the web console.
