FWIW, I don't consider it broken either and I agree with the support<br>

<br></div><div>The common use case is multiple services using the same config file. backdoor_port allows for a non-zero value and most people will likely not choose 0 as their first choice. That will fail 100% of the time for all but the first service.<br>

Also, I'd rather use a boolean that *always* pick a random port. It<br>
doesn't make sense to allow port hints if the user will have to "find<br>

We also have to consider that this is a major change and might break<br>
some deployments that are using it so, we better take a<br>
deprecation-path for the old argument - by warning users that it'll be<br>
deprecated in the Ith release or whatsoever.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1 to that<br></div></div></div></div>
