For pkg base we need to distill things out of etc/ and into places where they fit better. This enables them to be pkged up with the parts of the system them belong with and the CONFS= tags them as config files so that pkg will know about them and be able to 3-way merge them. This keeps the flexibility we have today with the many WITH_*/WITHOUT_* knobs. Though it is not without trade offs, keeping all of one part of the system together is simpler and makes some maintenance easier. > Moving startup scripts to sbin/init is at least dubious, IMO. > Startup scripts has nothing to do with init(8), but this is the > second-order question. Do you have a better idea of a place for them? This is the most logical place I could think of.
