Glen, I don't like the way you're adding your specific system
configuration to core PLD packages, and therefore *my* system.  Evil
"mount /boot", now this...  I'd appreciate if you tried to do it in a
way that doesn't have impact on anything else; preferably with optional
subpackages.

Definitely no.  And I don't like the idea of useless script in my
cron.daily queue either; I'd vote for a subpackage.  Not that "sh
something" once a day would kill my machines; it's just *another*
useless piece of nothing, *another* line in `find /etc`, *another*
variable in /etc/sysconfig/system, *another*... wasted inode. ;-)

Besides, using /var/log (do I remember correctly?  it's in /var/log?)
for a *cache* is a FHS violation.  /var/cache/useless/.
