I know, I know.

But, in general, you know that modifying a file (not a config file) that 
can be replaced by an update sometime, is a risk. You have to remember 
that such and such package should not be updated, and if you forget, 
problems come. You may trust yourself (I don't trust me), but you may be 
out on a holiday, and your substitute forgets :-p
