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.
