In the new model, we have three sources of storage:
- /mnt/var: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "var"
- /mnt/cfg: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "cfg"
- /mnt/tmp: Mountpoint for a ramdisk
These sources are used for the following overlays:
- **/cfg, /home, /root**: /mnt/cfg if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/etc**: /mnt/cfg if available and the boot/etc finit condition is
set, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var/lib**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/cfg if available,
else /mnt/tmp

The nano editor has been shown, over and over again, to be more
user-friendly to complete UNIX/Linux beginners than even Mg.
Also, change the default pager/less to be less (again), it was
very confusing to have less be most and more just be more. We
recommend scripts to use pager and edit/editor to call system
safe defaults.

- Default to start pager (most), fall back to less/more/cat
- Drop : from sub-headings
- Repeat 'See Also' section
- Relocate network section's Interesting Files to end
- Add dhcpcd.conf to list of interesting files

Do not wait for dhclient to acquire first release, this will cause
unnecessary delays when booting, and not provide any real value in our
system. Because we will never have any service that depends on a
network address being set when starting up, this is a feature that
Finit can provide for us as a condition when starting such services.
Also, never set global "README" in multiple policy files, this will
cause ifupdown2 to crash in horrific ways.

The default policy for management interface prefix in ifupdown2 is
"eth", which currently clashes with Infix default switch port names.
Changing our naming policy of switch ports to "swpN", mimicing the
naming using in Cumulus Linux, would also help. To be discussed.

We will not use features like batman, vxrd, or openvswitch. Also, the
clagd and vxrd addons are not in ifupdown2, so likely proprietary ext.
by Cumulus. Dropping them makes "unknown addon" warnings go away.

Unlike debugfs, cfgfs is currently an optional feature in Infix, so
let's set it to noauto for now.

Preparing for the upcoming Finit v4.4 which takes system information
from /etc/os-release -- reduces branding efforts.

Allow networking config to be supplied from multiple fragmens in
/etc/network/interfaces.d. This way, a user can customize their setup
without having to override /etc/network/interfaces.
