 > Perhaps I misunderstood what this change is doing but I thought it was
 non destructive. This change does not edit the theme stylesheet. It saves
 the data in the database (through a theme mod) and then outputs it on page
 load. This means it's easy to update themes, and to remove the custom
 styles if something goes wrong. It's a lot less destructive than the theme
 editor (which I would be happy to see go away).

 That is correct. The proposal is to store this custom post CSS in the
 database (via a custom post type), just as Jetpack is doing. No theme
 files would be modified, so this feature is not dependent on
 `DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT` being off.
