 I do not really think this should be considered a problem.
 The way sysinstall works allows you to view the whole history of
 its editing the rc.conf file, and lets you very easily restore
 old configurations (esp. program flags, where every single letter
 matters ;)
 
 Yes, this adds to the size of the rc.conf file, but the history kept
 is much helpful sometimes..
 
 G'luck,
 Peter
