 | **ENABLE\_INBOUND\_RETRY\_POLICY**       | If true, enables retry policy for inbound routes, which automatically retries any requests that were reset before reaching the intended service.                                                |
 | **EXCLUDE\_UNSAFE\_503\_FROM\_DEFAULT\_RETRY**            | If true, excludes unsafe retry on `503` from the default retry policy.                                                                                   |
 | **PREFER\_DESTINATIONRULE\_TLS\_FOR\_EXTERNAL\_SERVICES** | If true, external services prefer the TLS settings from DestinationRules over the metadata TLS settings.                                      |
-| **ENABLE\_ENHANCED\_DESTINATIONRULE\_MERGE**              | If enabled, Istio merges DestinationRules considering their **exportTo** fields. The DestinationRules are then kept as independent rules if the **exportTo** fields are not equal. |

 | **PILOT\_UNIFIED\_SIDECAR\_SCOPE**                        | If true, unified SidecarScope creation is used. This is only intended as a temporary feature flag for backward compatibility.                |
 | **ENABLE\_DEFERRED\_STATS\_CREATION**                     | If enabled, Istio lazily initializes a subset of the stats.                                                                                    |
