It's generally kept up-to-date, but mistakes do happen. However, from my
reading of the current code, it's still an issue: we save away the
results of running the system wgetrc, but always attempt to parse the
user wgetrc even if we already know the system wgetrc failed.

This should be a very, very simple thing to fix, and small enough that
you shouldn't have to sign papers for it. Sounds like a great place to
start!
