True, but if you decide to update, you don't know in advance which
files may be replaced. Suit yourself, but there's no point in
making more work or surprises for yourself.

The commands in the ~/.vim/ftdetect directory are processed after
the defaults (see ":help ftdetect", the paragraph below the line
labeled "< 3"), but the 'filetype' is set by the "set filetype"
command regardless of any previous setting of 'filetype' by "set
filetype" or "setfiletype", so it prevails.
