1 Hi all,
2
3 I was cleaning out my /etc directory as I do every so often and I came to
4 wondering why those files needed to be protected when unmerging. Any
5 unmodified configuration files will be restored upon re-emerging a package
6 and any modified configuration files will be left behind anyway.

8 If anyone can see situation where this behaviour could be detrimental, please
9 reply here for further discussion and add a comment to bug #43066 if a
10 similar comment does not exist already.
