> Global ``const``'s that are accessible from the policy layer and event engine (e.g., to configure features) are currently defined in different ways:
> 1. in ``bro.init`` and ``NetVar.{cc|h}``
> 2. in a specific .bro policy script and ``NetVar.{cc|h}``
> 3. in ``const.bif``
> According to our discussion on bro-dev, we should change it to only use ``const.bif``.
> For case 2. we should add a ``redef`` in the .bro policy scripts, so that users looking at the script see that the const exists (TODO: how to best auto-doucment these).
> Setting milestone to 1.6 as it seems this can be done together with the general policy script overhaul, but can also be pushed backed.
