This makes life painful enough to ask....
Is there any good reason that mergemaster deals with this stuff rather than
make installworld? Or maybe I should ask, why doesn't make installworld
handle *some* stuff in /etc, such as /etc/rc.d/ and /etc/defaults/?
<IMHO>
I guess the good reason is that POLA says that stuff under /etc/ doesn't
change with an installworld. But does this mean that we should keep this
stuff (along with /etc/defaults/) somewhere else (/system/rc.d/,
/system/defaults/)? After all, the BSD world has always been against the
sysV idea of storing binaries under /etc/, and /etc/rc.d/ is now full
of binaries.... well, programs then.
</IMHO>
Or maybe I'm just completely off track and the real world (!) adds its
own /etc/rc.d/ stuff and modifies /etc/defaults/?
