I recall there were issues if you tried to modify those files in Windows. Maybe they've fixed that in recent updates, but my impression was that while I could see the files, I shouldn't be touching them.

Yes. Updates to those files didn't seem to be reflected in bash until I'd closed and reopened the terminal.

Careful: the Linux permissions of these files are stored in attributes of the files, and many tools don't preserve them properly. You'll likely lose access to files if you try this.

FYI, this does not work.
