11 Well I don't like the idea of a single file. It's easier to have a directory
12 with individual files so you can simply drop your file in there if you need
13 it. Just like the env.d.

15 That two different paradigma are just confusing is (one point for) why I don't
16 like SuSE. They got a sysv init system but it just doesn't matter what you do
17 to the symlinks, you gotta edit rc.config too.
