we should do this. years ago I spent some time making sure that LEGAL and various ports matched in prep for removing this file. In practice, its poorly maintained and the ports are canonical

@kevans ping?

oh. I already committed this in rD52130

I'll commit this now. I've been busy with other things.

review is for everything but the perl code. That seems okay but I don't trust my review :)

I did a quick review and it seems fine.

Thanks!

I did not review closely but am supportive of the direction taken

I think I like cem's idea to only include files if they do not start with a "." or finish with ".pkgnew", ".sample" or ".bak" (any others?).

To clarify my accept: mechanically it is fine. I assumed that the social aspects were already resolved.

This is fine to me, though I could imagine some users getting confused when their config stops working.

Thank you!

There is actually another important difference between reboot and shutdown -r now: reboot does not run /etc/rc.shutdown. This is because reboot has its own shutdown procedure and does not signal init like init 6 and shutdown -r now do (except in the case of rerooting via reboot -r).

Do you have any comments on what should be the reason in the commit message?

In modern FreeBSD is matterns a lot less, its mostly just convention. One minor thing is that shutdown produces a global message, while reboot does not. I believe that historically, some versions of reboot did not do appropriate safe shutdown checks and just rebooted.

Why? It's been like this for 20 years...

I compared this to /etc/aliases.
