I vigorously oppose making it the default in 4.x at any time... we
already did one major overhaul of /etc/rc* in RELENG_4, and I don't
think we should put them through that again. However, if we can get it
polished sufficiently I wouldn't object necessarily to having it in
there as an option; BUT, I seriously doubt it'd get to that point in
time to be useful.
