+
+# The packager of the Mailman 2 package did a poor job, because they put
+# the main configuration file in /usr/lib/ instead of /etc/.  They at least
+# put in a /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py → /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
+# symlink so that at least you can find the file if you go looking around
+# in /etc/.
+#
+# However, that symlink it doesn't do anything for you if you'd like to be
+# able to back up your system configuration by backing up /etc/, or if you
+# track your system configuration by watching /etc/ (like with etckeeper),
+# or a number of other things that sysadmins like to do...
+#
+# The tidy solution would be to swap which path is the real file, and which
+# path is the symlink, but pacman would then discard our config when it
+# upgrades the mailman package.  So instead, we need to make up a totally
+# new path for the real file... like `/etc/mailman/mm_cfg.real.py`.  We
+# replace the file in /usr/ with a symlink to that.
+#
+# To make this all go smoothly, we do it with some slightly clever Holo
+# tricks.
+
+# When the default /usr/…/mm_cfg.py changes, save the new default version
+# as a .pacnew file in /etc
