Except that that doesn't deal with wanting to just modify parts of a file.

I agree that, in general, when you need changed resolv.conf, and arbitrary
other files it may make sense.

But you still need other changes; either modifying pccard_ether with hacks
or replacing it, replacing rc.conf, etc.  And it really doesn't make sense
to completely replace either of those just for one or two settings.  I
don't see anywhere that I can completely replace a file to change the IP
address and default route without also having a lot more baggage around.
