Yes. I would find that useful too.

The most important thing (I believe) is too have a consistent statement on
how to use the rc.d scripts and have that automatically appended to the
+DISPLAY.

Maybe add to the msgadd() or msgprint() function in mk/install/header ?

I remember that Greg Woods shared some ideas about how the generated
+DISPLAY MESSAGE should include more too. I didn't see a PR about this
though.

One idea is to manually add your own comment to each config so they won't
be removed/replaced (automatically).
