This is definitely something which is important, if that's the only way to support modules parameter. > Also I doubt against /etc/default directory, that contains config for > init.d scripts - possible we must rename it to /etc/conf.d - like in > other modern Debian-based distros and distros with Debian roots? I vote against for two reasons: First and not that important it's still /etc/default in current Debian stable and it's also /etc/default in Ubuntu and derivates - so we are in good neighborhood. Second and more important, I don't see a real benefit other than just looking "modern". As an embedded distro we don't have the need and capabilities to be on par with the big ones. Our target is to be rock-solid and to work for years without attendance if possible. Easying deployment and updates will be more than enough for LEAF users. The naming of directories is less important. Third it will break a lot packages.
