Sometimes I can be a bit harsh.
Anyway, I propose the following:

1) Add a comment on top of master.cf (and other strategically useful
locations) saying:

DON'T EDIT THIS FILE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. REALLY. I MEAN IT.

2) Add a file master.cf.chroot which is an exact copy of master.cf with all
daemons having the chroot column set to "y".

To err is human. 
To forgive is beyond the scope of the Operating System.
