I don't know if there are any technical reasons, but I would want the check there for the peace of mine of the user. Let's say you start to edit a crontab, and then really screw it up due to some typos or something. You know it's screwed up, so you just want to bail out. You type :q! and you then see the message "installing new crontab". You then think -- "Oh no! What just happened?!?" In that situation, I would rather keep the current behavior, where you see "no changes made to crontab". -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
