Custom, unusual permissions may be required for a user's system. If upstream or an Arch developer sees reasons to change the permissions, then the user should follow them by manually adopting new default permissions if there is nothing against it from the user's point of view, just like a user adapts a configuration to a *.pacnew configuration from time to time. IMO permissions are similar to configurations. New configurations are required from time to time, but you don't want that a package upgrade does overwrite your configurations. Regards, Ralf
