But you obviously pay attention to the output of rpmconfigcheck and
resolve your older config files.

Not always, I have some uselessly trying to request my attention for months

But yes, I suppose I'm experienced enough to guess which are important and
which not, and where to look if I notice problems.


By the way, notice that YOU can produce those files in a system installed
from scratch. Things get a security update, and the config files are not
parsed correctly, leaving the job to the admin.

At the risk of being flamed (I'm pretty scarred up anyway), I have to ask.
Is there something in the user manual that says that keeping up with RPMNEWs
is a routine part of maintaining a Linux system? For an average Joe home
user who's just switching to Linux, isn't this something they would need to
know? This goes along with the long running thread discussing whether Linux
is ready for the average Joe home user.
