Not to mention it reduces the barrier to entry. It's a lot easier to
drop 2 lines in your periodic.conf and be done than to require someone
to update their ports tree, install the port, and then add the two lines.

That would be even easier if the dropping of 2 lines was carried out
automatically. I know people lazy enough to deinstall a port if they must
do any post-config for themselves ("make deinstall" is easier than thinking
for a few seconds).

There are several things I want to work on when I get back onto a 'real network' next week ... Matt @ Dragonfly has asked for some 'network detection' code to be added, to check if there is even a network connected, before he'll add it to there base system ... and someone else suggested adding code similar to postfix's port to have *it* prompt and auto-add the appropriate lines to /etc/periodic.conf ...

Plus, of course, next phase being to try and get a simple email system in place as described by Max for those 'hard to reach places' ...

But, again, those are all extensions to, and don't affect the backend ... the changes discussed as needing to be worked on will not cause problems for v3.x or newer clients ...
