Does this mean that we will remove the .sh extension on port rc.d startup
scripts? Because a) it's been only running .sh scripts for quite a
while, and b) it's really nice and easy to disable scripts by moving
them to .old or another extension..
Also, how will this effect cups which installs a .sample file? and
any other port that does this?
