Yep, definitely. That's why I'm trying to validate my assumptions
on what's actually considered configuration, and what's dumped
in there.

Note, /mail/lib isn't in hg, so sysupdate doesn't touch it.
The changes I'm proposing would be in the defaults for new
installs.

Any breakage would be from changes in /sys/src/cmd/upas, and
I don't see any problem with keeping things compatible. At
most it'd mean checking an extra path to decide what command
to run.

Yeah. I'm doing that now as well for testing the smtpd changes
for date and time. I'm realizing that this stuff is simpler than
it looks, but the example config really overcomplicates things.

Ah, I missed it in the rewrite file. Thanks for the cross check.
