Happy to, but may I ask why? As far as I’m aware this command updating defaults doesn’t require SIP to be disabled, so guarding it behind the csrutil status check could be misleading. Is it simply to keep the two VO commands in lockstep? Either you get both or neither?

@cmorten , Oh, I see. In that case, could you add a comment to describe why we need this command? Because currently the comment above contains (SIP must be disabled) description.

Ah yes, that description is now somewhat misleading, I’ll have a think and push something up!
