That sounds more like D.J.Bernsteinish...

You said it like it's a bad thing.

I actually respect D.J.Bernsteinish very much. I refuse to use his creations not because they are bad, but because he insists that he, alone, knows the truth. He's right in about 95% or may be even 99% cases, but because sometimes he is wrong and you he does not tolerate deviations at all... well, it's safer to not even try.

But I fail to see why these same approaches used by people who don't share DJB "you have no right to touch my baby" should be bad...

I was pointing out that deleting files to disable things is more EIAF than running sed on a sysconfig file.

Out of curiosity, what makes it djb-ish?
