Yes, the reasoning is that since the goal is to have the new stuff doing exactly what the old stuff does, there's no reason not to just get it over with. Our current goal is the following: By DP2: Make rc_ng="YES" the default By 5.0-RELEASE: Complete cutover Our feeling is that the leap to 5.0 will already have a sufficiently large number of things to worry about that adding one more shouldn't be a problem. :) Or at least, this problem should be lost in the noise since rc.conf[.local] won't be any more incompatible due to the rcng stuff than it would have been in -current anyway.
