9 I think it would be better to have a file outside the one which need to
10 be protected that know/record which one has to be. Let's say it's a
11 config file and the end-user got a config-file from the web, if he just
12 copy the file over the old one he will get f... the next emerge. The
13 current system is ok, the directory to protect are saved outside the
14 config directory and you need to know where they are to mess with them.
15 They actually could get more flexible and have regexp/more granular
16 selection in them thought.
