Probably not a bad idea. From what I see, it wouldn't take much to add an "if override file found, use it, else use this" logic to the current source, although validating the override file would add some overhead. A straight-up "use this file as the template" flow would be more direct, but then there's the problem of what to do if the file is missing or corrupt. Leaving a known-valid version in the script avoids that kind of issue.
