It works fairly well aside from having to run a program to propagate entries. (Although that actually is something of a feature, since there's almost always an entry to tell SuSEconfig to leave the real files alone instead of propagating, so you can run things the old way if you want or if you can't DTRT using the rc.config entries.)
