Maybe want both.  On my 5.4 sys:

/etc/pccard_ether:if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
/etc/pccard_ether:      . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/pccard_ether:      . /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.bsdextended:                . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/rc.bsdextended:                . /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.firewall:               . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/rc.firewall:               . /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.sendmail:       . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/rc.sendmail:       . /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.subr:                   . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
/etc/rc.subr:                   . /etc/rc.conf

Or do I have some old files in there?

Some wouldn't. It's fine either way, IMO.  When I say it out loud, I
pause only after "NFS", but it seems wrong with only one comma.

(I subscribed to alt.usage.english yesterday after 3 years or so, to
maybe ask about such things, but was disappointed to see them 90% off
topic.  I'll have to lurk a while before trusting them again.)

Yes, and something to watch for, it seems; I fixed one yesterday.
