--- Comment #15 from Miroslav Lachman <000.fbsd at quip.cz> ---
I was not talking about rc conf defaults but compile time defaults.
According to MySQL and MariaDB documentation
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/option-files.html
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/configuring-mariadb-with-mycnf/

/etc/my.cnf     Global
/etc/mysql/my.cnf       Global
SYSCONFDIR/my.cnf       Global
$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf      Server
defaults-extra-file     File specified with --defaults-extra-file=path, if any
~/.my.cnf       User

So in FreeBSD world, where everything from ports should have its files under
/usr/local prefix, the first search location should be /usr/local/etc/my.cnf,
the second /usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf and third /var/db/mysql/my.cnf (DATADIR)
AFAIK this is how it works for a decade.

It was already discussed in  Bug 182547

I am not against changing defaults in rc script but I think the defaults for
mysql server it-self should be left unchanged.
