Partly because I believe that the choice of timecounter hardware is sufficiently important to the performance and correct operation of the system to warrant its own rc.conf knob, and partly because I hate the "configuration diaspora" of which sysctl.conf is a prime example. (another such example is ntp.conf - the needs of most ntpd users can be met with an ntp.conf generated automatically from information which is already present in rc.conf) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org
