I also think Org-mode table src block content to override file is dangerous.
I have another idea. Append src block content to end of file. I have a sceniro: File `dotfile-1.org`: ``` * SSH config 1 #+BEGIN_SRC conf :tangle "~/.ssh/config" fragment 1 #+END_SRC ``` File `dotfile-2.org`: ``` * SSH config 2 #+BEGIN_SRC conf :tangle "~/.ssh/config" fragment 2 #+END_SRC ``` When the tangle src blocks are in separate files, this override file way is not suitable. Of course I can put those src blcoks together, but when I have to organize literate programming files in separately, the override way is not suitable anymore. So hope Org-mode can provide `append` way with an `defcustom` option.
