Does this also apply today? I recently read from someone on a mailing
list that the kld_list in rc.conf is no longer needed, that any problems
it used to solve are solved, and that the preferred way is to load
everything from loader.conf. So I'm curious, what's the right thing to
do then? (I load most of my modules from rc.conf)
Kind regards
