Speaking of "defaults for years", sysinstall supports upgrades now. In
addition to all of the above, it will move your old "/etc" to
"/etc.old", install the new "/etc", and delete any obsolete files
(binaries that have changed location &c). It's fairly painless if you
can get the sets over ftp, or nfs, or if you can put them on a
seperate partition.
