The question is not "*can* you add stuff to the magic file". The question is "are you *supposed* to add stuff to the magic file". From the comment in the magic file itself, you are not. Re-read what you quoted: >> # Machine-generated from src/cmd/file/magdir/*; edit there only! Upstream *clearly* does not want the magic file to be edited directly; they want new definitions to be put into the source instead. Presumably this is so the new definitions are available for others too. It does not surprise me that it works to edit the file, BTW. But that doesn't mean it's an approved action.
