ok so what is this, the secret cabal to make FreeBSD useless?
I'm ccing core as I believe this was not discussed enough in public
(in fact not discussed AT ALL in any forum I am watching)
and I officially request a backout of the removal of what I consider
to be core functionality.

My usual way of doing things is on install to ci EVERYTHING in /etc
to get a snapsot right the way back to install.

now I have to change things in /etc (and other places) BEFORE I can 
check them in.
(i.e. get networking up and ports installed)
not a big thing but I believe that a lot of poeple use ci/co on /etc 
becasue it is "just there"
