In the future it could be nice to be able to reload the host controllers to a different stability level. Also, as this is currently mainly for the testsuite to be able to reload, there is no special support in the CLI's reload command for the enhanced reload operation. If this is seen usable for wider use, adding handling to the CLI command to expose the stability parameter could be interesting. The CLI command would need to take into account both the stability level of the server and the user's RBAC role in order to determine whether the enhanced reload operation is visible to the user. If the operation is visible, and the user wants to use the stability paramter, the enhanced reload operation will be called instead of the current reload operation. @@ -141,7 +145,13 @@ Tests will be added to the testsuite/standalone module to ensure that the Server == Community Documentation -The only user facing functionality here is the enhanced reload operation.
