Ah, indeed, I had misunderstood.
I'm not sure what you mean by split them out into seperate scripts.
Teh idea of splitting them into seperate files per variable makes
sense, however, those files shouldn't need to be scripts, and should
all be in one place, so it doesn't get too much harder to edit a bunch
of them. We should consider asking the support folks whether a change
of this nature is likely to cause them a problem. I suspect rc.conf
may be referenced in several documents.
