Design for a supported way to change default setup in PTL

@saritakh

If done:
A. I have some valid manual configurations on my PBS -> I run SmokeTest/Feature test on OOB -> Get back previous configs & Continue my work on my setup
B. I have some invalid manual configurations by mistake on my PBS -> I run SmokeTest/Feature test on OOB -> Will get back my invalid configurations

If not done:
C. I have some valid manual configurations on my PBS -> I run SmokeTest/Feature test on OOB -> Get OOB PBS, I have to redo my previous configurations
D. I have some valid manual configurations by mistake on my PBS -> I run SmokeTest/Feature test on OOB -> Get OOB PBS, a clean PBS

Can you tell me if there is any other advantage of doing this apart from A? or any other use case?

Hey @saritakh
I believe you hit the main use case. We don’t want to disturb the user’s PBS configuration by running pbs_benchpress. Thanks for breaking the cases out. I don’t think we should worry about the cases where the user has an invalid PBS setup. We can’t know what is invalid, so we shouldn’t care about it. It is true that vase D can be beneficial. I don’t think it should be a side effect of running pbs_benchpress. Maybe we add a new option to pbs_config? It can be used to revert your PBS setup back to OOB.
