Not a good reason. In Debian, there is the possibility to accept or refuse the changes in the configuration (or examine the situation to be able to do something else). Many packages occasionally update the Debian defaults (sometimes silently, when the user had not modified the defaults, which may be annoying if the user wants to keep the old config, but the silent change is a choice of the package's maintainer). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
