[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

I'm not interested in trying to debug this. I'll just revert the change to update-verify-config-creator.py made in bug 1766085 and leave it for someone else to sort out later.

These tasks don't run by default, see comment 0. Hence they didn't run today.

Verified fixed in yesterday's central-as-early-beta simulation.
