Actually, they did it for a reason, and it's not really a *bad* reason. It makes automated administration a lot easier - e.g. writing scripts that modify the system config etc. Solaris (and SysV in general) is *very* geared towards automated adminning. That's not necessarily a bad thing, if it's done properly, but I don't agree with the way they chose to solve some of the problems that arise when you do that.
