Not any more. :) I ran out of steam last night, and so I'm finishing up the doc stuff today.

If that becomes necessary, we can certainly do it. This is early enough in the 10-current cycle that I think we should be able to catch all the stragglers well before 10-release, and I personally have no plans to MFC the removal of set_rcvar from rc.subr.
