I think it is useful. Consider that devices attach at every boot and thus go through that mac_linkmgmt_create()/door_upcall code path at every boot. Without this code, the last modify date on the datalink.conf file will always coincide with the last time the system booted (at least), which is misleading. This would also cause the boot archive on x86 to be re-generated for no good reason at every shutdown, assuming that this config. file is part of the boot archive. -Seb
