I think that the answer is obviously "No". The big diference is that config can not be used to compile userland programs. Although Eivind talked about userland source configuration, config will still be only a source tree tool, I think. There's no need to have config around in /usr/sbin. // >PS: Even if people don't like the idea of moving it to /usr/src/sys, // >including it in the CVS and CVSup src-sys modules would work, since it would // >keep matching versions of config together.
