Now, one can now set a key/value pair in tools.conf which will cause the open-vm-tools to "opt-out" of VMware's Tools upgrading infrastructure. At the time I don't think we advertised this change loudly, but we should have: ALL OPEN-VM-TOOLS PACKAGES SHOULD MAKE USE OF THIS MECHANISM. I've added a paragraph describing the key/value pair to the open-vm-tools packaging wiki (in the vmware-guestd section). More details follow.

What is the key/value pair that should be set to do this?
