So you're implying that OLDER will be created when:
A) The system is first installed, perhaps by preserving the
"base" rc.conf as /etc/rc.conf.dist
B) One of these fancy[er] merges has been done, in which case
/etc/rc.conf.dist is overwritten with the base rc.conf file
from the new release.
I think that would be pretty darn simple - any objections to this
as a "quick fix" solution? I'm still in favor of pushing people
over to rc.conf.local for their customizations (which, *ack urgh*,
doesn't even really need to live in /etc :-) but this would deal
reasonably well with those who didn't.
