LMConfig is wrong for several reasons (which I thought I addressed earlier):

  * it is a premium feature that may not be subscribed to and if the only option here, a very large mallet for a simple problem
  * LMConfig does not report changes (we workaround this via API grabs with git email-on-push integration, but this is not a general solution for folks)

Again, this is the example that caused me to think of how to best solve the problem -- another client uses SolarWinds and they get a notice when the firmware version changes.  With strings and everything.  I thought of a way to solve it that would buy us all a general improvement and hostProps.set was the answer.  I'll take others, but LMConfig is not it.
