No, /etc/defaults are different beasties -- they are true

While this comment is blatently obvious: /etc/examples
;)
I think it's a good idea to move out most of the examples from the
actual config files and put them in example files. I do think, however,
that the example files should be in /etc/examples, that way you know
where they are, and that they are connected to the files in /etc. That
way they will also be covered by mergemaster(8) so you will notice if
something have changed in the examples and be able to correct your
config files.
Someone also mentioned moving more files which usually are not changed
that often to /etc/defaults. I think that might be a good idea, because
then /etc wouldn't be so clobberd. If you want to change the defaults,
you just put the changes in a file with the same name in /etc. That's a
whole different thing though, which need some more thinking-through and
work...
Anyways, just putting in my 0.02 SEK on things.
Keep up the good work, all of you!
