Maybe we should change our defaults to be the optimum then? Or make
it very obvious which config file to use and which not to use.
Maybe olsrd.conf.default.rfc should be removed or renamed to
something that make it obvious that it should not be used, for
instance olsrd.conf.default.rfc-unused, olsrd.conf.default.rfc-old,
olsrd.conf.default.rfc-dead.
