default.css will not update to newer contents automatically

[trigg]

I'm torn as to what I think is the correct path here.

Currently

• default.css is populated on first run
• if edited by user, it is not overwritten
• if deleted by user, it is not replaced
• if edited upstream, new edits in master/stable do not propagate to user

Worse idea

• each update default.css is replaced with a new copy
• if edited by user, it magically reverts
• if deleted by user, it magically reappears
• if edited upstream, new content is automatically applied

Midway solution

• instead of a copy, use a symlink to the root-owned file
• user will not be able to edit the contents
• if deleted by user, it is not replaced
• if edited upstream, new content is automatically applied

My personal opinion is to switch over to the midway solution as it still allows user to have ultimate say with the lowest likelihood of breakage from updates.

Naturally this is a call for opinions on the matter.
