Re: V2.0.11: Undefined variables no longer need to be escaped?

I updated Cobbler from V2.0.10 to V2.0.11. Previously, an unescaped undefined $variable anywhere in a snippet would cause a snippet to not be included/expanded, instead it just left the $SNIPPET line in place. Now, such a snippet is included/expanded, with any unescaped undefined variables just left alone (e.g. "echo $myvar" in the snippet remains as "echo $myvar" in the getks output). Is this intentional? It would seem to mean that I no longer need to escape variables, for instance bash variables I'm using in %pre or %post, and that password hashes no longer need $ escaped or even raw/end raw.
