Understood, however given that there is plenty of room for confusion on
this point because the default is NOT to include the comments I think
that some explanation is justified. My original text was:
# Store the plain version of the configuration file in the kernel itself.
# To store the entire file, including comments, put this in /etc/src.conf:
# CONFIGARGS= -C
# See config(8) for more details.
I'm open to suggestions on shrinking it, but I do think some sort of
explanation is warranted.
