Patch Set 1:

> I think it deserves wider discussion in ML because it have a chance
 > to break pretty much every Osmocom config file out there.

I fully agree, and there already was some discussion on the ML, which lead up to this patch: see thread before and after https://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/openbsc/2017-May/010652.html
("catch-22 VTY error")

I am touching this now because I think we're releasing a burst of people needing to adjust their vty config files these days (with osmo-msc/bsc separation and osmo-ggsn, the new SIGTRAN and whatnot), and it would make sense to do this indenting change at the same time.

Actually I think it might be worth it to make this indenting strictness optional, so that e.g. the old osmo-nitb can still request the old implicit-go-to-parent way, while new binaries from a given version on can switch to the new strict indenting.

Though we're writing a lot here now, I would welcome more discussion on the ML...
