Ah, I just noticed a commit from Sept 2020 =
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/1fc1a22868264f3a59074fe90cb2=
ac39309d63d5 =
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/1fc1a22868264f3a59074fe90cb=

to end up in 13.0, am I right? Perhaps there is more work that needs to =
happen before this leads to a shutdown and in turn rc.d running scripts.
