John,

So I can 'mv /etc/passwd' and the whole system is messed up.
Yes, I know an extreme example that is protected by permissions.
But that said there are lots of files that one could move and
mess up the system.  If one moved the bookmarks within the
.mozilla/.firefox directory then you loose the bookmarks.
This filename is in a <dot> directory that is owned by the
user.  How is this any different from messing up ones
bookmarks?

Also TCR?  How can we TCR something like this when it is
a community thing.  We typically state that the project
team should work with the community.  Making this a TCR
effectively denies the project.  I do not think that this
is a TCR issue nor even an issue.

Thanks,

John
