having a default in /etc/login.conf would really be the best idea i think.
as almost everyone runs mergemaster after a update, people will notice something
has changed. adding it to UPDATING would have been appropriate back when the
change took place though(imo).

kris, you mention that we dont need to bother with libraries and symlinks
anymore.. can that be translated to:
"NODESCRYPTLINKS=true" is obsolete now(its still in /etc/defaults/make.conf) ?
