description:
Add a note explaining why we don't "obsolete" end-user configuration files.
Inspired by the fallout from the recent named.conf move.

XXX: consider fixing spamd.conf in a similar manner.

+# Note: end-user configuration files that are moved to another location
+#      should not be marked "obsolete"; they should just be removed from
+#      the set list, a custom fix should be added to postinstall(8), and
+#      an item should be added to src/UPDATING for MKUPDATE=yes users.
+#      This is an exception to the general rule that moved/removed files
+#      are marked as "obsolete", because we don't want to arbitrarily
+#      remove end-user configuration files.
