Excellent.

Because the issue was fixed in the kernel some time ago. Unfortunately I couldn’t tell you exactly when, but the Pi stopped needing the file addition around 18 months ago. That’s around the time the kernel was bumped up to v 4 I think. Whether it is any sort of problem to have such a file when it isn’t required… I don’t know. It’s certainly less alarming for any user if the script doesn’t demand their superuser password!
