The advantage is: now variables from /etc/rc.conf{,.local} will be propagated
to /etc/rc.local

Ohh?
Here's entry from /etc/rc for /etc/rc.conf:
# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
if [ -f /etc/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf
fi
Here are primissions on rc.conf:
[sivka]-p9:80> ls -la /etc/rc.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6221 5 MAJ 17:46 /etc/rc.conf
[sivka]-p9:81>
Are you trying to tell me that rc.conf is not executed on the system startup
on my machine? :-)
