Mmm, yes. This is one of the things that I really, really like about
FreeBSD: *every* startup setting is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and you never
touch that, but everything you've changed is in /etc/rc.conf. It saves a
tremendous amount of fiddling with obscure files in /etc. Would the
same approach be useful in MediaWiki?
