Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1047:
-----------------------------------





Agreed, but I don't really see how we could do that for, say,
local.bro or broctl.cfg where we want to give users templates to work
from. Ideas?

> People keep having problems when they install a new Bro version 
> over the installation of an old one because scripts that have disappeared in the new version will keep sticking around from the previous installation. 
> We should simply remove the old scripts/base and scripts/policy before installing anything new. People aren't supposed to edit in there so that should be safe.
