It seems you're just repeating the same thing over and over now.

"rm /usr/lib/libpcp.so" also "affects dependencies", like any number of
ill-chosen sysadmin actions - this is not convincing anyone in any way
that there's a problem here, sorry.

("you"?  no, not me - but one of the other PCP maintainers, yes.)

Like I said, a specious argument - after so many years and not a single
real-world issue resulting from this "risk".  Its important for cross-
platform support in PCP that we have pcp.conf, and being able to override
those variables is sometimes very useful - these are not things that are
likely to change.

cheers.
