No, it doesn't turn anything on. If you looked at the file you
would see that it's nothing but comments. OTOH, users who try to start
dhclient without a conf file somtimes run into trouble. And do me a favor
in the future please. You and I seem to have some kind of communications
problem, so please try to state your "real" point more clearly in the
future so that we can both save some time.

Like I said, if you don't understand/aren't comfortable with the
issues involved, assign the PR to someone who is.

You don't have to, I already did. :) But seriously folks, I can't
think of a reason not to re-alphabetize it, since the entries that are
there are currently almost right anyway. However as I indicated in my PR
adding the two files is the important point here.
