Hi all,

This is mostly for the Editor team, but comments from anyone would
be great.

I've noticed (on at least one recent commit) that installation commands
are being changed from (for example).

install -m644 -v somefile someplace

to

install -m644 -v -o root -g root somefile someplace

The command is already preceded by an instruction to do it as root.
Additionally, if you do it as root, the -o and -g is redundant. If
you don't do it as root, it won't work anyway, regardless of the -o
and -g.

By feeling is the redundancy looks amateurish. Sure -o and -g has
its place in the informative/instructional side, but probably should
only be used when needed.

Thoughts?
