What’s happening? Why was this issue closed?
This issue was closed due to some much needed review of legacy issues or issues that were spawned in older versions of InSpec, i.e. < v3.

Why do I care?
You would care about this if this was an issue that you are still seeing and/or feel needs to be addressed in the current version of InSpec.

What do I need to do?
If this issue is no longer important, no further action is necessary. However, if you think this is something that should be addressed, please reopen the issue and continue the discussion, making sure to provide stack trace or repro data that is relevant to the current version.

Thank you!
