You could easily argue that a single rc.conf file is *not* very KISS, whereas on the other hand a bunch of small files - with a name already telling you what it is supposed to do - is *very* KISS. I'm running Arch for a few years myself and to be honest, I never quite liked the idea of rc.conf, as this was something very specific to Arch. Furthermore this whole effort of trying to stop this change by a kind of blackmail is lame, especially the threat that some of you would switch over to Fedora when considering that Fedora is already implementing all of this and probably will always be the first to do so in the future. If you really want to stop it, you should come up with some technical reasons. I haven't heard any so far and I'm not even sure whether there are any. Arch was always - if nothing else - about upstream compatibility and this is just the next step. Considering that you don't change this stuff often anyway, I don't see a problem here, especially because your old rc.conf's will work just fine in the near future. Best regards, Karol Babioch
