Bug Description

It is not clear if parameter_defaults: ExtraConfig multiple stanzas defined in custom templates will merge or take some precedence. Additionally, it seems that config download and ansible/external deployments changed the very extra configuration framework as well. This should be clarified in the tripleo docs.

I think the same could be said of all parameters, is there something specific we can add to the docs perhaps?

Also note this is probably related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/heat/+bug/1635409 which (if/when fixed) would give us an option to offer an alternative to the current always-overwrite behavior.
