Hello, Martin, hello, Ingo.
ok, so here's more background as to why I propose this change.
my setup is even simpler then stock setup. I just use the script that
usually reads:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/hostname ....
/sbin/ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1/8
/sbin/ifconfig ....
/sbin/route add -net default ...
/sbin/dhclient ...
the reason I am doing this is both historical (BSD/OS had this setup)
and practical (prefer to have a single observable script) also aesthetic
(just do not like to have many single line files).

personally, I prefer using my short script, over the stock
/etc/netstart, so why not let everybody use what they prefer?
Hell no.
This is directly contrary to project goals.
KISS. No useless knobs.
That said, OpenBSD is free software, you can replace any component
you want on your personal computer, even /etc/netstart.
But that certainly isn't supported, and if it ever results in
bogus bug reports, you *will* get yelled at.
Yours,
