	No, for two reasons. First, System V style rc structure relies on
transitions between run levels to do its work. FreeBSD does not plan to
implement run levels, and NetBSD's code does not depend on this. The other
reason is that when you say "System V" anything, people have immediate
negative reactions that are based purely on emotion.
