No, it wasn't merged to 11, so no further action required here.

This still doesn't answer my concern fully. In what way are the config files=
 in base not broken down 100%, i.e., what action can I take to resolve your c=
oncerns about it not being fully modularized? I think syslog.conf having ker=
beros.log is likely the last issue, but I would really like clarification in=
 order to move forward.

If there isn't any actionable feedback here, I'll call what's done in head "=
good enough", not MFC the changes, and move on to other pressing tasks.

Thanks,
