 I totally agree with you from the FreeBSD point of view. But on another 
 way, I can imagine somebody with my.cnf configuration file in /etc/ even 
 on FreeBSD, because it is documented in manpage
 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/option-files.html and because it 
 was "default" in MariaDB for a long time
 It is better to not break some "rare user's" setup.
 
 If we decide to get rid of /etc/ and /etc/mysql/ dirs, then it shoul be 
 mentioned in UPDATING too and maybe provide some check on install or 
 service re-start for transitional time which will again warn the user 
 about this change (beside the pkg-message). Becaus missing my.cnf at 
 startup can cause serious problem.
