    I kinda like our scheme... at least I like the single monolithic
    /etc/rc.conf file.  It makes maintaining and installing machines 
    utterly trivial whereas having a billion little files each with
    one or two options in them makes maintaining and installing machines
    rather difficult.  I sure hope nobody is advocating doing away with
    the monolithic capabilities of /etc/rc.conf!
