I agree it was a bad choice. But, it is being corrected to 'reset' as the 
new default, in newer releases. Until then, you can use configuration 
command to enable 'reset'.

recovery process.

Currently we are investigating a more robust way for recover. Until then, 
'reset' would be your best option.

that's right.
