All I care about is /etc/rc.conf ... I like the idea of splitting
the various other rc files into pieces as long as I can control them
all from /etc/rc.conf. If it's extensible that's even better!
What I really hate is the SysV/Linux/Solaris style of rc.d configuration
directories where you create/maintain softlinks in specially named
directories (named after the run level) to a master set of
startup files. Blech. Yuch. Ptooey!
