I do now, as it just bit me again:
If you run a version of sup with the patch, it will crash on startup if
any usual source lacks the :poll_interval property.
If you have just installed the patch, this will bite you.
If you have run a non-patched version of sup for any reason, it will
blow away the :poll_interval properties on clean exit (because it
doesn't recognize them, so it doesn't write them to sources.yaml)
Suggest using default value when no value is supplied to solve the first
case, probably emitting a warning to help slightly with the second case.
I have no idea what to do about the second case more generally, except
to perpetuate the patch to 'next' and 'master'.
There may be other issues that I'm unaware of.
