I think I'll put up something in the FAQ about this as it seems to be
something that folks may need some further education / awareness on.

Your explanation makes sense to me but for those of us using Mystic for a
while I can see how what was a previously filled field now blank may be
concerning.

What I think this will do is make folks more aware of the setup / settings in
the defined security areas.
