Yes, but.... I don't know if you're doing this at work, or home. If the
former, what happens when someone else uses that to build, either a
co-worker, or you move on to a better job (or get hit by a car), who
doesn't know what's going on. It's better to leave the system in the way
it was intended, in terms of ownership and permissions, and so it's in a
known state.
