      Section number and name: Item 6. Optional: Check existing configuration files: Review, remediate, and then remove the rpmnew, rpmsave, and leappsave files. Note that rpmsave and leappsave are equivalent and can be handled similarly. For more information, see What are rpmnew & rpmsave files?

      Describe the issue: We state step is Optional. In fact it's not it's super Important to merge the ".rpmnew" and regular file otherwise you can get a lot of issues, such as not having logrotate function properly on rsyslog, issues with spawning the systemd user instance when /etc/pam.d/systemd-user was modified, etc.

      Impact of this issue: A lot of headache for the support specialists and customers in the end.

      Suggestions for improvement: Replace "Optional" by "Important (and in bold)"
