Why do we specify a project in the er.info file? #68

Hi all,

I'm working on a drush maintenance script and it keeps returning the following error on our reporting site: "Failed to get available update data for one project."

After referencing the documentation, I found that setting the project field manually is discouraged. https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/creating-custom-modules/writing-module-info-files-drupal-7x#project

After I comment out the project line, the error goes away. Is this okay?

Commenting out that line should not cause a problem. Removing it from the codebase should be considered. Due to the conflicting nature of our current ER module, the Project / Package values are set incorrectly. Setting them to match the module name (ER) could cause Drupal to attempt to overwrite them with the wrong module.
