Comment (by TJNowell):

 Given that this has security implications, allowing `null` while warning
 the user in the log could lull them into a false sense of security if
 they've just followed an old article that mentions `CUSTOM_TAGS` and don't
 know about error logs etc.

 Perhaps the `else` case would be a good place for it though, as well as
 checks if those variables exist and have values. It would still result in
 the same situation but the user would have an idea of how to fix it rather
 than being stuck not knowing what to do.
