Yep, you wrote that, and I answered that *I* would *NOT* like this. |
| 12 |
I like it, that I can use a program right away - at least in a |
| 13 |
"default" way. If you had your way, *NO* program which relied |
| 14 |
on configuration files would be usable after installation, as |
| 15 |
no configuration file could be found. Because of that, I would |
| 16 |
not want to happen what you proposed. |

A simple diff is all that's done right now (well, basically at least; |
| 22 |
basically etc-update can be seen as a sort of front-end to diff). |

"Why not"? Simple - because it's already done that way. You can |
| 34 |
save all the messages which meet a certain level (ie. either log |
| 35 |
all ewarn messages, all einfo messages or both kinds of messages). |

Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from |

acquiring the deadening effect of a habit. |
