Thanks, that's what I thought - it appears to for all but the flapping options.
I should add that this applies to the global flap detection option as well.

Would you (or anyone) mind testing this on your own installation:

- find a host/service for which flapping is enabled
- disable flap detection for that host/service; wait until that state is
  reflected in the extended info
- reload the configs
- check the state of flap detection - has it reverted to enabled?

I'm not sure what you mean here - which directives _can't_ be overridden by the
retention file?

They were cut and pasted from live configs, so yeah.
