Yes, that’s inconvenient but manageable (except in the face of
automated upgrades). Also, the normal conffile handling only
has a yes-or-no approach (and a “let me spawn a shell” one),
none where you can interactively merge (like with diff3 when
CVS has a merge conflict) the change…

sudo visudo
⇒ opens an editor on the tmp for /etc/sudoers
^Kx (exits the editor)
⇒ displays the message
<return>
⇒ opens an editor on the tmp for /etc/sudoers.d/README

This is because /etc/sudoers contains
| #includedir /etc/sudoers.d
and /etc/sudoers.d/README is a file in that directory…
must there be one in order for the #includedir line to
be valid? (I’d patch that out.)
