First, that change was OK'ed by both christos and luke,
as you can see from the commit message - I asked what to do, and they both 
said "move to mk.conf.5".

I just tried backing this out but saw that you've started working
on this without further communication, and as a result the changes cannot 
backed out easily. I've backed out both my change from yesterday and yours 
from today on mk.conf.5, I hope that's ok.

I also wish you much fun sorting this out!
