Loading them once is easy. Updating them on the next release is where customers&rsquo; edits get overwritten, or the new values never arrive. Bootstrapping keeps a small ledger in the same database, so every value can be compared three ways, and a value an admin changed stays changed. A value both sides changed differently stops the apply until someone picks.</p>
