Isn't that the exact same issue that all other modules/* files have,
also now in 2.x? Say, I edited modules/detail.log because I don't like
the default paths.

Same thing is going to happen. IMHO, the creation of .rpmnew files is to
blame in this case. RPM shouldn't do that.

Not that I mind; installing from source is the way to go anyway :-)

Greetings,
