I am calm.
The suggestion to not edit the (/etc/sudoeres) configuration file is one
of those types of things that if nobody objects to then eventually not
doing so will become defacto policy. So I objected, calmly, but with
emphasis.
Nobody said you can't.
Yet. (See above.)
I do.
I do too.
Just know what you're doing and pay attention to what portage does
with package-managed configuration files.
Yep.
This is a common pitfall across multiple distributions / operating
systems / platforms.
dispatch-conf even gives you the opportunity to edit it before
applying.
Yep.
I almost always reject the changes suggested on config files that I've
modified and accept them on files that I've not modified.
I really do wish that there was a better way to manage this, likely
involving diffs / deltas. E.g. what changed between the N distribution
file and the N+1 distribution file. Can that same change be safely
applied to the N' distribution file to create the N'+1 file?
