Were you really expecting

OPTION="Value1"
OPTION="Value2"

to result in OPTION="Value1 Value2"?

That would be a very strange expectation. Any other reasonable look at the file
you see that there are key=value assignments. Any duplication of keys obviously
overwrites previous assignments.

IMHO, spelling this out in every file makes no sense
