<mild vent> What's the functional difference between the former rc.conf and defaults/rc.conf? Why not /etc/defaults/really_defaults/really_really_defaults/rc.conf? (Rhetorical question) If we realllllly shouldn't change settings in defaults/rc.conf then just roll those variable assignments into /etc/rc which we are also warned not to play with. (This is where a developer should tell me I don't see the grand scheme.) My vote from userland is scrap /etc/defaults. Change mergemaster a bit. Use rc and rc.conf and be done with it. Let make world handle rc but leave rc.conf. Boy, if I ever become a committer I will rename all of those files to the most perfectly correct and canonical *.ini!
