+1.  I've always loved FreeBSD for its simplicity, and having to know/care
about one or two config files is one of it; these *.d populated directories
smell like Linux too much.

I understand the reason behind supporting those for ports, but please don't
plague our base with this one-line config files scattered around idiocy.
