Initially I though /etc/defaults/rc.conf stored the default settings and then
we could override some of the settings in /etc/rc.conf, but after a close
look at how they are used in /etc/rc*, I am confused:

	if [ -f /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
		. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
	elif [ -f /etc/rc.conf ]; then
		. /etc/rc.conf
	fi

If I have a /etc/defaults/rc.conf, then my /etc/rc.conf won't be consulted.
So what is the purpose of /etc/defaults/rc.conf?
