While this is a step, I don't think that this would be a step forward. I think that a better way would be to find an elegant method of allowing /usr/local/etc/rc.d to participate in rcorder. I've got plenty of ideas about how to do this without breaking the filesystem dependency, but I'll wait to see what -current and -hackers come up with. I am sure that their method will be cleaner.
