The whole point of XC5 is easy upgrades. Well there are many good things about it, but mainly it is ease of upgrade and easy module installation. But this is completely defeated if you modify core files.
No core files, not skins, not CSS, not php code should ever be changed. The database should never be directly altered either.
All of your changes should be accomplished by the addition of your own custom module. XC5 has a brilliant system for overwriting code and skins with modules. That is what makes it truly special.
