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. Doug -- If you're never wrong, you're not trying hard enough.
