Output is customizable from only used values to full listing. WWW: http://www.lapo.it/rclean/ - Why do you think it could be useful in base system? Well, that part is more personal, but I think it could remove the tendency people have of complaining about the current /etc/defaults scheme. There has been a few threads about problems arising when /etc/defaults/rc.conf was getting updated. I think rclean might help solve those problems, in the same spirit mergemaster helps managing configuration file changes.

I wonder what's best after all. ;) I must admit I was being a bit blunt by just challenging people to put this in base, somehow assuming everything should go in. In other words, the question is: Why should this go in base? rather than: Why isn't this in base? My apologies.
