You would *actually* technically, in reality, prefer digging through
gigabytes of text files and do some kind of manual modifications in
that sea of raw data? Modifications that are basically impossible to
track in any kind of change tracker. That are excessively hard and
time consuming to actually do and check. Instead of just adjusting
input parameters on the ingest script? *That* is what I consider to be
frankly very hard to believe.
I rather get the impression that you prefer expressing this position
because of the logical consequences on the discussion. Especially if
you immediately change the topic from prefered form of modification to
redistribution and DFSG and main and other things that are entirely
irrelevant to the question of what is the prefered form of
modification. Technically. In practice. Not morally or spiritually.

That is *very* explicitly *not* what I asked your opinion on. I asked
you to consider very specific examples and what is the prefered form
of modification in those cases. Really consider.
