Hmh... do you want to configure e.g. apache, sendmail, postfix in
rc.conf? :)
In my case I need many options and configuration lines for each
jail and currently i have about 15 jails on one host.
I do not want all this in rc.conf... Only general configuration or
for overiding defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf...
What about devfs rulesets... the are "outsourced". And "mount
rulesets", if implemented, should be outsourced, too.

It is only my opinion, and maybe you are right and i am not ;)
And one more thing: I like rc.conf and rc.d scripts, too. And i
love FreeBSD :-)

bye,
Andy
