: Understood, however given that there is plenty of room for confusion on

: 
: # Store the plain version of the configuration file in the kernel itself.
: # To store the entire file, including comments, put this in /etc/src.conf:
: # CONFIGARGS=	-C
: # See config(8) for more details.

plenty of room for it.  Do you think you can describe what confusion
is possible here?
