noted. If I respin this patch, I'll change it to something like

if ((hwe2->revision && !hwe1->revision) ||
    (hwe1->revision && (!hwe2->revision || strcmp(hwe1->revision, hwe2->revision))))

But there are many other instances of !! in the multipath tools code.

It should help clear up some user confusion.  If the user adds a
new config that only regex matches the built-in config, but doesn't
string match it, you obviously need to keep the built-in config to
correctly configure devices that match the built-in config but not
the user config.

However if the user's config string matches the built-in, then the
built-in config will never be used.  Any device what would match the
built-in config will match the user's merged config first.  However, if
the user dumps the config, and goes looking through it to make sure that
everything got merged correctly, the first config they will see is the
built-in config.  Then they call support, who needs to explain to them
that their config is further down in the output, and the last config in
the output is what gets used.

It's easy to avoid all that by simply deleting the built-in config in
the case where it string matches the user's config.

Oops. You're correct. Looks like I am respinning the patch.
