The reason this wasn't done in first place was because people *depended* on custom made loader.rc scripts. Overwriting their stuff out of the blue wouldn't be... nice. The success of loader.conf has greatly diminished that practice, though, so I think we can go with this proposal. But *please* make sure there are enough heads ups in enough places. Also, see if you can't make loader.rc.old copies at install. Not to fall back to, but just so people won't simply lose what they had. -- Daniel C.
