Hi folks,
In the days of modern Unix, many (most?) of us have come to expect and
depend on command-line completion that today's modern shells provide in
order to reduce typing (and inaccurate typing).

Given that premise, the "DEFAULTS" file in sys/*/conf constantly trips me
up as my kernel files are named "DEO". I know others with kernel configs
named with a 'D' that grumbled when command-line completion was now
thwart due to "DEFAULTS".

A very simple solution to this is to rename "DEFAULTS" to "_DEFAULTS".

objection!
