Yes, the actual editing is not a problem, as long as you only need to  
do it once. The problem is when you have a module/program/whatever  
that you need to provide a release of for 2.5 and would also like to  
provide a release of for 3.0. Then, the editing becomes a problem,  
because you have to do it again for every change you make.
