I'm ccing core as I believe this was not discussed enough in public (in fact not discussed AT ALL in any forum I am watching) and I officially request a backout of the removal of what I consider to be core functionality. My usual way of doing things is on install to ci EVERYTHING in /etc to get a snapsot right the way back to install. now I have to change things in /etc (and other places) BEFORE I can check them in. (i.e. get networking up and ports installed) not a big thing but I believe that a lot of poeple use ci/co on /etc becasue it is "just there"
