  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"CouchDB version 3.0.0 shipped with a new configuration setting
  that governs access control to the entire database server called require_valid_user_except_for_up.
  It was meant as an extension to the long-standing setting require_valid_user, which in turn requires
  that any and all requests to CouchDB will have to be made with valid credentials, effectively
  forbidding any anonymous requests.
  The new require_valid_user_except_for_up is an off-by-default setting that was meant to allow
  requiring valid credentials for all endpoints except for the /_up endpoint.
  However, the implementation of this made an error that lead to not enforcing credentials on any
  endpoint, when enabled.");
