 Ah, I see!  Good point.
 
 You mean that because the included files are changed, someone may fail
 to notice this and skip regenerating the sendmail.cf and submit.cf
 files.
 
 I think a forced commit is a good idea, but I don't know if there is
 precedent for doing this after Sendmail upgrades.  Mr. Gregory Shapiro,
 our Sendmail maintainer, is probably the best person to decide about
 this.
