I hate it unreservedly.  If we need a source of seeded default values, 
we should have rc.conf.default, uncommented, read-only.  rc.conf is 
where people expect to make their changes, and it is immensely bogus to 
have sysinstall creating rc.conf.site which is quietly included *after* 
everything in rc.conf (so that when someone changes rc.conf, the change 
is overridden).
