This looks like a transliteration of the version 4 format, where a "valueless" option is "nicer". However, in `Version: 5` every field must have a value.I would recommend that we in `Version: 5` merge them into one field such as `FTP-Mode: passive` or `FTP-Mode: active`. This reduces the number of fields for people to learn, for us to document and for tooling to know about.Best regards, NielsLooking at code, it seems that these options have no more any effect: uscan uses LWP::UserAgent for FTP requests, which knows only "passive" mode...
Ok, sounds like we should just straight up remove them. Makes it even simpler! :D
Best regards, Niels
