#24526 did not make it into 0.3.2.9 but it will be in the next 0.3.2.x release.

Thank you for suggesting this config warning.
If it is a single instance operator it will always be a
false-positive warning. Or do you actually intent to
implement a logic that compares the ContactInfo 
of itself with other relays and warns if there is more than 
one relay with that contactinfo?
(less false-positives)
