I, personally, have no need of /etc/defaults and typically disable it, anyway. Since the whole thing is environment variables, why not make /etc/rc.conf and /etc/make.conf _include_ the ones in /etc/defaults (first thing in the file) (if they exist, obviously)? At which point, those of us who don't use the features [of the defaults] can simply copy the onese in the defaults directory over the ones in /etc (thus putting the entire file in completely AND removing the inclusion of /etc/defualts files... This, also, enforces the idea that defaults are defaults and the ones in the etc directory are the final authority. Just an idea :) -- Close your eyes. Now forget what you see.
