Philosophically, I agree. *However*, we should keep in mind that the
original provision of that script was to keep local sysadmins (and
others) from having to monkey with the standard "supported" stuff. *If*
that purpose is *still* it's primary reason for being, then it is still
a *preferred* method if your POV is from a support aspect (that is, e.g.
RH supporting site admins).
