Does anything ever provide
only improvements?
a) Keep a copy of anything you're about to replace.
b) Keep a copy of anything you're about to edit in.
Have you tested a) to demonstrate that it's not working?
Have you tested b) to demonstrate that it works/works better?
Testing can be... um, testing, due to the usual requirement for rigour.
Be aware that the next time you auto-update IHG's hostfile from their server it will likely replace most/all manual edits you've made with whatever IHG has decided to support/implement.
