No "lo" line in /etc/rc.conf after a fresh install?

I just did a reinstall of Arch this morning using 2007.08-2 ftp installation CD and noticed that there is no 'lo' line in /etc/rc.conf. Is this intentional? I've manually added the 'lo' line back into /etc/rc.conf but I still would like to know whether this is intentional or simply some unintended error or bug? Sorry if there's already a thread on this issue.

It's intentional... lo is now managed by the init-scripts.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up, thayer. So it's safe to remove them (again ), right?

Also, we should update the wiki to reflect this change (since the wiki still talks about lo line).

Fixed Beginner's Guide and Network articles to reflect this change.
