You're breaking people's scripts. Even worse, you're breaking things, and your error message doesn't even tell the user how to get the previous behavior. You're telling them how to get new behavior, which they probably don't give a crap about. They want their existing stuff to work. Stop being in denial, we are stuck with the old port number default. Again, we cannot change this default without breaking something which we've already deployed to users. If this port number issue was so important, we should have done something about it when we integrated vxlan. But we didn't, so we have to live with the consequences. Now is far too late to change the default.
