What I think Joe is trying to get at is that the file name (and its
existence) should be Committed, since changing the name or removing it
entirely are not things we want to make easy. (The difference between
Committed and Uncommitted is when incompatible changes are allowed. For
Committed, it's at a Major release. It is unlikely in the extreme that
a Major release of Solaris will ever happen again.) The contents of the
file may be Uncommitted, hence changeable in a Minor release.
I agree with Roland that having a default edit mode enabled is a good
thing; I have no problem with it being either emacs or gmacs.
