What I have in mind for the base system is whether to clone it from hg or to rsync it. Configuration files under version control /rsync master that need local editing would be provided in a suckless-like fashion with the .def extension, eg /etc/fstab.def, /etc/passwd.def. Using this approach the updates don't affect the existing configuration files, and the user can upgrade/merge them when it is appropriate or necessary. -Anselm
