2.4.3 says:
"This makes it impossible for someone else to later reconfigure the
package." This is an incorrect statement and is likely an intentional
exaggeration.
A statement like:
"This could make it very difficult for someone else to later reconfigure
the package." is true and keeps an emphasis on the fact that it's a bad
idea. I replaced "makes" with "could make" and "impossible" with "very
difficult". The "very" was thrown in for emphasis.

Hi,
This is a style issue. People who can't exercise common sense
