This argument doesn't work.

If the configuration the /user/ set gets changed without any
notification, then what that says to the user is that /they/ don't
control those config files.

In the worst case, there are settings in ssh_config and sshd_config
that are simple yes/no.  So this argument could be used to switch a
setting to "no" if the default was "yes" unless the user did so
already.  :-/
