And how exactly are you going to tell /usr/bin/login, /usr/bin/chpass,
/usr/local/bin/wu-ftpd, etc., where to find that file?  Remember, if
it's ports that read the setup file, it can be moved around anywhere
by changing PREFIX -- but for files that are read by the system, it is
just not passible.  That's why shells is in /etc and sudoers is in
/usr/local/etc.

Um, how will it make it easier for ports? ;)
