Nope, not yet. Only the config options have been commented out.

I would recommend to _not_ use the tarball method :-). I've always had 
problems when I forgot to set RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no" in /etc/conf.d/rc 
after baselayout update (can't remember what kind of problems, though). It 
is, however, a good idea to create permanent /dev/null and /dev/console 
nodes with mknod beforehand.

Bye...
