The other reason to use it is to avoid actually touching cpurc, so that you don't have to remember to type -s '/rc/bin/cpurc' when I pull, after backing it up and merging any changes back in. Since pull is the primary means of keeping the system up to date, it's a real pain to try to merge all these changes. --dho
