The current code uses drizzling parameter files in drizzlepac/pars/hap_pars/svmparameters/wfpc2/wfpc2/. The code in _drizzlepac/haputils/config_utils.py uses a different parameter file depending on the number of exposures to process. The intention was to use a file for all exposure groups with 6 or exposures (wfpc2_wfpc2_astrodrizzle_any_n6.json), however, the code is currently using wfpc_wfpc_any_n4.json instead for any grouping more than 4.
The new code needs to be implemented and tested, which may be the more onerous task.
It doesn't look as though there was any difference between the anY_n4.json and any_n6.json files, and so we use the any_n4.json file for both cases moving forward.
