Seconded.  /etc/rc.conf was bad enough, and I only sync'd it there
because it was my most available testing platform.  Repeating my
somewhat risky manouver there with username lengths would be nothing
less than a fiasco.  At least people can still leave their old and
mouldy /etc dirs around in the face of my change to RELENG_2_2 and
still function just fine.
