I am, for the new stuff at least.

sys.mk still sucks in /etc/defaults/make.conf.local (historical cruft).
It shouldn't suck in /etc/defaults/make.conf because the latter shouldn't
set anything.  It currently only sets BDECFLAGS.  /etc/defaults/make.conf
is unlike all the other files in /etc/defaults.  It [should] only gives
examples.  The actual defaults are in /usr/share/mk/sys.mk.  Perhaps
/etc/defaults/make.conf should be named make.conf.examples and put
elsewhere (where?).
