This is an interesting correction to my understanding... I always thought
that discover was an internal engine thing, and did not change the config.

If discover can change the config, then isn't there a risk that if someone
does --discover, then edits the config, then --discover again, that his
edits may be lost?  Or are we expecting plugins to be smart enough not
to overwrite settings that are different yet valid?

Thanks,
