Laziness is compatible with anything when it means not doing any

It is not a matter of knowing it needs changing, it is a matter of
changing it. Any time a procedure and be automated, it should be. It
should be one's choice whether or not to use the automation, however.
That's why I suggest a new tag rather than redefining an existing
one.
Why should I:
1) su to root
2) co -l supfile
3) edit supfile (correctly. Small chance of a typo, but non-zero vs 0% when
*not* editing the file)
4) ci -u supfile
when I can do: nothing. This is easier, and less prone to mistakes.
Given these two lists, Occam's razor would, I think, select the zero
length list as the simpler one.
