I think, we already basically agreed here. (Except for the >>shell<<
functions :) -- i'd rather see any possible script/program. The
execve() overhead is minimal compared to thinks like ``find / ...''.)
I'd personally not really like to have the logs zipped. Larger
machines prefer to have an own file system for /var, so the ``root has
way too few space'' argument doesn't count there.
I think the PR should be closed, and the restructuring of /etc/*ly
should be moved into a TODO for > 2.1.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
