I strongly oppose this; rc.d already exists and is standardized in several
releases. Such a change would be gratuitous.

rc.shutdown.d would be a self-documenting name.  rcK.d doesn't mean
anything to me. (K=kill?? I don't come from a Solaris background.)

It would save people from hacking /etc/rc.shutdown (like rc.d saves
hacking /etc/rc.local).
