I'm very much in favor of *whatever* scheme is used assembling the startup/shutdown sequence and other control files from fragments. Either directly by having the startup shell script run the files (the rc.d model) or by having the package install process rebuild them. I just want to get away from editing one big file that has a load of unrelated packages *and* the administrator diddling it.
