I like this change (kind of) but is it really necessary to cause make
to exit if there is a make.conf.local? Why not have it read all 3? One
of the things we talked about at the 'Con was that a three tiered system
works well for rc.conf when you have a lot of machines sharing similar
configuration details, but with some unique elements present on each
machine. Perhaps I'm missing something, but how can make.conf.local be a
bad thing?
