The keyboard's plists of PressAndHold also can no longer be modified to add the new accents in El Capitan

From OS X 10.8 to 10.10, I used to modify the PressAndHold keyboard plists to add the new Romanian and Slavic accents and some symbols, so I'm an hyperglot.

/System/Library/Input Methods/PressAndHold.app/Contents

From 10.11, they can no longer be modified.
