There is no discussion in the audit trail, so I think it's most likely
no committer ever looked that much at it.

I took a brief look, and at the very least the patch is missing an
update to the rc.conf manual page.  I'm not entirely convinced the way
the patch goes about creating the devices etc. is the best way to do
it, but I don't see any obvious problems.

That said, personally I unfortunately have too many other things on my
plate to commit the patch.
