You could very well be right. I just setup my first 3.1 system a couple of days ago and haven't fully explored the changes. I just remembered finding rc.conf in /etc/defaults, instead of /etc. Your comments make sense, and I think I'll follow your suggestion. But note that you do need to rm /etc/defaults/rc.conf to have /etc/rc.conf read. So it's only slightly different than the 2.x upgrade process.
