Change of default MergeMode from MERGE to REPLACE

 

Hi everyone

In 2.25 we will change the default `MergeMode` from `MERGE` to `REPLACE`
(for metadata imports), this is being done because of the somewhat
undefined characteristics of the `MERGE` mode (what is merged, and what is
not.. depends on the internal Java implementation, primitives vs objects
etc)

Hopefully this should not cause any issues, but if you foresee any issues
with your scripts or third party apps you can already today make it future
safe by setting the merge mode explicit for imports (mergeMode=MERGE)
