Me, and the answer is no: RELENG_4_3 is currently reserved for security fixes only. And frankly, as well tested as the patch may have been, it would have hurt no one to wait 2 days to MFC those changes. The cost of screwing up the rc scripts (especially file system mounting) on -STABLE are pretty high: even if you feel the risk is low, a delay of two days is worth it. ("I know that other people make mistakes when testing simple and harmless MFC's, but I'd never make a mistake because I test things properly and don't make mistakes"). Also, does your definition of remote file systems include Arla, Coda and AFS? Are you aware that both of those remote file systems require supporting daemons before they can be started, and those remote daemons aren't loaded until /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* have been executed?
