Excellent on all counts. I agree with the POLA issue and defaulting to
the current behavior although I suspect most everyone will opt for the
quiet output in short order and the current rc stuff often is just
noise to most users and not really useful, even for those who understand
most of it.

I consider this and the recent work on the FAQ bu Gabor Pali to be real
wins for OS friendliness and approachability for those without BSD
experience.
