[arch-dev-public] chroots config question

Regarding the below:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot

It reads:

"The -C and -M flags are optional, but it is recommended to provide 
these with clean pacman.conf and makepkg.conf files (directly from the 
pacman package) during first creation of clean chroot to ensure lack of 
user specific adjustments."

I think this is misleading. If you *don't* provide these arguments, what 
you get is the default config files directly from the pacman package, 
right? So the desired thing in most circumstances is, presumably, NOT to 
override?
