I agree... ;)

How about generic runlevel support through kenv instead ?


Set runlevel by default to 3 , where just like any other system is
multiuser, and provide support in the rc scripts to look at kenv. While
documenting "runlevel" in init(8)'s man page since that is where most
people look for these things.


This way a we could define a while bunch of things around generic
runlevels and if perhaps runlevels ever make it into FreeBSD the support
for them will already exist.
