I agree also, but I have a wish :
All this configuration files are called by scripts and programs.
Some of them are updated by other scripts and programs.
Other are deprecated and are replaced by ???

Can you put a little comment in these config files such as :
# used by ...
# updated by ...
# deprecated : use instead ... (ex: /etc/networks)

People who use Debian, Slackware, LFS... are lost when they see a Mandrake
because they fight against MCC. 
IMHO, few comments can improve the comprehension of Mdk's architecture.

With Mdk 9.1, I found a bug in adsl connection due to this file with imbedded 
blanks making an error in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf . The file is
 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0\ \(using\ module\ bcm4400\)
NB: No problem with the same card as eth1 ->  ifcfg-eth1 
It was difficult to understand the problem starting from init. 

I hope you can  understand my wish !
