/etc/system has the one benfit of being a single place to look. And some such settings can be changed at runtime (though mdb is not a sysadmin- friendly tool for doing so). driver .conf files are simply less friendly. Not that /etc/system is all that friendly. I suspect this struggle will continue until a project comes along to rationalize and replace/clean-up/integrate ndd and /etc/system settings into a sysadmin-friendly framework that properly supports presistence (but also temporary settings).
