No problem with that.
The question and my concern is that every .config
will contain this line and this is just one usage
which is questionable. IMHO if there is no .config
savedefconfig should failed to let user to know
that something is wrong. But that's just my opinion.

It doesn't look at it is failing - just don't use that default one.
